Christmas

Christmas came early this year. Usually I have a rule that I don't even think about Christmas presents until after Halloween, but I spotted some puzzles that will do as stocking fillers for DS in mid-October and it seems to have been downhill from then on. We put the Christmas decorations up last Saturday and it's not even advent yet! The Advent tree is sitting bare on the shelf awaiting Saturday when we can start decorating it with tiny wooden Father Christmases and Snowmen. But I have to admit when faced with a Saturday as miserable and dark and grey as last Saturday it did cheer the house up to add a selection of tinsel to the pictures and 40 LED's on an artificial tree to the corner of the living room. And it kept DS from bouncing off the walls too much.....
