So with only a few weeks to go before Christmas it’s time I started buying a few more presents. I’m never one to have it all done with loads of time to spare, instead I often find that I’m still getting a few things the week before the big day. This year however I want to be much more prepared. I’m going to get the decorations out of the attic over the weekend ready to be put up the first week of December, and I’m going to finish off my shopping by the second week of December and have them all wrapped up and ready for delivery by Father Christmas!

I’m especially looking forward to seeing Finlay’s face on Christmas morning when he sees what has been delivered to the house. Hopefully he’ll have a wonderful time. I’ll have the camera fully charged and all ready to start snapping the moment that we all get up. It’ll be his second Christmas but I think this time he’ll have even more fun that he did last year – ripping all the paper off and discovering what is in there.

We’re not doing a big Christmas dinner this year, we’ll be getting our turkey and stuffing in a box (it is very tasty though) and we’ll cook up some honey roast parsnips and some roasties…mmmm perfect! Then we’ll have an afternoon of crackers, games and lots of fun and laughter.
