Merry Christmas

Hello my lovelies, how are you all doing? Are you all tucked in for the night and ready for the joys of Christmas to unfold? We are all cosy here in the Attic, listening to the wind whistle down the chimney as yet another storm arrives in our patch. This is Storm Conor (absurdly loving that our storms have names), and it looks like we could be in for a wild couple of days. 

I have been very slow to feel infused by Christmas jollity this year, and as usual I have been very late doing the necessary festive things. We only put our tree and decorations up a week ago, it was the first day of the school holidays for the Little People and they really enjoyed decking out the tree for me. Before anything even went onto the branches, the kitty climbed in and toppled the whole lot over, so I tied the tree to the window frame with a length of string and am keeping my fingers crossed. She seems to enjoy sitting right inside the tree (it's an artificial one), often we don't even realise she's in there until the bells jingle and out she climbs. I was nervous decorating my mantel as this is very much Tilly terrain, but so far she hasn't even tried to jump up and I am rather relieved that all is still intact. I have loved bringing out all my old decorations again, so many good memories of Christmas' past (you can read about my "Fun and Joy" bunting here).

I'm currently slap bang in the midst of fighting off a mother of a head cold, cripes I've not felt well at all these past few days. Yesterday I spent the entire day on the sofa drinking Lemsip and crocheting, so today has been full on as I tried to catch up with everything I should have done yesterday. It's been draining, to say the least. However - I am so looking forward to tomorrow, the Little Peeps are very excited and I can't wait to see what they make of their presents. We will be staying put here at number 24 and enjoying some precious family time. I will be wearing pyjamas, painting my toenails glittery-sparkly red and drinking prosecco topped with raspberry and cranberry juice. Cooking, eating, drinking, loving and loafing. 

I'd like to wish you a merry and joyful Christmas, may it be full of love and happiness, with a few glittery sparkles thrown in for good measure. Have fun!

ps to those who have asked, the lovely light up wooden decoration was from Amazon (here) - I also bought this and this and love them so much x

Merry Xmas Lucy & family and hope the day was a good one. Sorry to hear you are full of cold & maybe a dose of our heat would help (about 38deg here yesterday for Xmas day.) Your house looks lovely as usual and very festive. Take care.

[Charlotte.]

Merry Christmas! Wishing you and your family all blessings for the new year. I too have been fighting a cod for about 3 weeks. It's not fun to feel unwell for the holidays. Hope you are better soon.

Your Tilly looks like my Pookie Lou Who!
Awww....I"m sorry you feel under the weather. My hubs feels he has a head cold coming on too! We open our pressies on Christmas Eve, so we are relaxing today! I wish you the Merriest Christmas and a Blessed 2017!

Suggest try garlic capsules for the cold - quite a lot of the 2mg ones throughout the day, or high strength ones. They always help me :) Happy Christmas!

I hope you're feeling much better soon and that you & your family have a Very Happy Christmas. Thank you for your lovely blog ~ I'm so glad to have found it! I truly appreciate all your time & hard work ~ I adore your photos! I am excited to start the Moorland blanket CAL in January (I received my yarn package!). It will be a welcome start to the New Year & some much needed quiet crochet time. I hope that 2017 is all that you wish for!

I love the photos of Tilly, what a beautiful cat!
My cat has been gone for a very long time but I still remember how he used to help me wrap presents.
I would usually wrap on the floor and when I rolled the paper out he would ever so nicely walk straight on it and sit down and stare at me. He must have thought he was holding the paper down for me, at least that's what I would like to think!
All the best to you and your family in the New Year
and Merry Christmas!

[Natalie]

Merry Christmas to you and your family! I'm looking forward to some crochet time after the big meal is done and dusted! Xx
