On the twelfth day of Christmas ...

… my true love sent to me - 

12 festive mince pies


11 winter pine-cones


10 stars a shining


9 baubles hanging


8 pens for greetings


7 candles lighting


6 toys a-gazing


5 gold rings


4 poin-setts


3 Santa stamps


2 turtle doves


and an angel a-top a Christmas tree.

All the mince pies are eaten along with the majority of the first Christmas cake. The other cake will continue to mature until our weights come down a little. The rest of the chocolates are hidden and I am restricting myself to one 'sweetie' a day. Oh my!

Highly readable

  3. I've read this Trisha Ashley book and I really enjoyed it too. I've got another Christmas themed book of hers on my book pile, but haven't got around to reading it this Christmas. Maybe next year!
