I love Christmas, our flat-packed tree, carols and gift wrapping. I am known to be somewhat anal about decorating, wrapping and table setting. I can also provide evidence given Mr. Magoo now remembers where in the house certain decorations are placed.....and he quite likes taking the mickey out of me telling Miss Muffet to stand back and take a look at the tree.... Is it balanced?? We listen to Christmas carols and arrange decorations in festive manner, sometimes it involves me going.....No, no, no, not like that! and then the lovely vision of the beautiful family decorating harmoniusly goes flyin' out the window....
Wrapping needs to go together but not match..... and table setting is pretty much the same....
these are the memories we create....we tend to giggle alot about my OCDness and it ends Ok, we have a balanced tree with beautiful decorations placed just perfectly and I do not think my children are too scared, not yet anyway.
I love sentences that begin....Remember when.... these are the traditions and memories we create, they are the footprints that we leave to show where we have been, where we have come from.... I hope you have lots and lots of memories of your own special Christmas. it is above all for me family and love and fun and music and food (Miss Muffet asks for particular Banham- tradition-Christmas-food, so I'm think my OCDness is rubbing off quite well!!) and smiles, always smiles, smiles all round.
Hope you and your have the smilest Christmas ever.... Joyeux Noel xxxx
gorgeous decorating!! Happy Christmas to you too xxxx
