The Christmas cakes look delicious, I've only recently started eating it, along with mince pies, but it's something I'm looking forward to indulging in over the festive period now.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1117235929033462254.post-12098008224734880562021-11-02T09:45:16.298+00:002021-11-02T09:45:16.298+00:00Many years ago I worked in a Thorntons shop, you c...Many years ago I worked in a Thorntons shop, you can imagine how hard it was not to indulge.

I can see chaos happening here as we are only now shifting back to having a few shops open, and keep getting told that there is a lot of shortage of items. We are not big Christmas keepers so it shouldn't affect us too much.At Home In New Zealandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835971617944752730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1117235929033462254.post-84406063375874541942021-11-02T07:48:54.839+00:002021-11-02T07:48:54.839+00:00Having to face up to the festive season at work - ...Having to face up to the festive season at work - so much prep involved but in complete denial otherwise (as I am every year - too soon too soon!)kjsutcliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064786032612487652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1117235929033462254.post-82675086340387362462021-11-02T06:48:08.448+00:002021-11-02T06:48:08.448+00:00Good morning - I have been thinking about Christma...Good morning - I have been thinking about Christmas and will make my list of gifts I’m giving later - I have ordered my treat to myself which is a calendar for next year by a local artist. I’ve loved looking at the pictures everyday this year. <br />I spied the advent calendars in Sainsrobbers and will pick some up next week. Last year Miss 27 complained bitterly that I’d not got her one but I got one for her brother!! I pointed out he lives at home and she doesn’t! Anyway I’ve treated her to one of the little M&S light up biscuit tins with shortbread in so that’s her advent calendar this year!! <br />It’s a good job people don’t want hand knitted socks from me this year as it takes me approx 5 years to make a pair!
