I do my best to ignore/avoid Christmas.
Mrs. P bought a tree this week, £10 from JTF. She thinks she'll be able to plant it in the garden, as it comes in a pot full of dirt. But I'm doubtful. It's staying in the garden and we'll stick some lights on the week before.
We bought a snow globe last week in Bowness. It is in the style of an old fashioned lantern, batteries keep the snow moving, and it's lit up by LEDs. Tacky or what? I don't care, the grandkids will love it :)
Cheers Dan, I will pass that advice on to her :)
Are you fed up with 'eating healthy'?
... then I offer for your Xmas delectation ...
battered mince pies
Copperfish in Mumbles Pier have just started selling battered mince pies and pigs in blankets.
Yum.

It's the 25th - 1 calendar month to go :santa::christmas::yay::christmas::santa:
And just six days before I can start on my Maltesers advent calendar :santa:
Three wars back, we called sauerkraut "Liberty Cabbage". And we called Liberty Cabbage "Super Slaw". And back then a suitcase was known as a "Swedish Lunchbox". 'Course nobody knew that but me... anyway, "long story short" is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.
Starting to feel Christmassy now, as twilight falls; my favourite time of the day in winter, as it's dark enough to make a dimly-lit room (with subdued lighting and candles, such as our lounge) look cosy andinviting, but not pitch black...
And the fire is now roaring away nicely, as I'm writing my Christmas cards, whilst enjoying a slice of Del's homemade carrot cake and sipping a cup of mulled spice tea, from my favourite online supplier: https://www.mysticbrewteas.com/colle...pice-christmas
Lovely stuff:)
