I have three more presents to wrap, and they are "Santa" presents, which have to be wrapped in different wrapping paper. When B was younger, she wondered why Santa used the same wrapping paper as us, so as she was always so quizzical we made sure that "his" presents were wrapped in different paper. One year she also questioned why the sweets in the stocking were the same as the ones we had in our house, so we also had to get different sweets and chocolates for the stockings too.
As J is of the same nature as B, we thought we had better be safe than sorry.
We are trying to keep things fairly simple for J, so he doesn't get too over excited and have a meltdown, and it is actually very tiring, as the world around us is going crazy for Christmas. So we are baking, watching films and staying in the warm as the weather is rather rough at the moment.
So our weekend consisted of Christmas visiting, starting with my nieces and nephew at M's parents and catching up with his younger siblings, which was nice.
In the afternoon he had great fun with his Dad making lego for most of the afternoon, and I was quite impressed with my husbands lego making skills

Yesterday we visited the Christmas Farmers Market, didn't buy anything, just tasted and listened to the band playing Christmas Carols
We also had a mini Christmas celebration this weekend, as my sister and her partner were visiting from the North (of England, not Pole). We went over for Christmas Tea yesterday, and opening of presents, where I received two books and a hot chocolate mug set. J was very pleased with his tool bench
Had lots of fun with Jesse the dog
and just loved helping his Ampy with the real fire
Today we have made Milk Chocolate and White Chocolate Bark, Chocolate Snowballs and B has made some more mince pies.
Tomorrow, staying in probably, as the weather, as Dean Martin sings, outside is frightful and my fire is definitely delightful.
