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

Attached to one of my Christmas presses was another Origami star. I wonder if anyone knows the name of this one as I have failed to find it on the internet or YT. It must start with a pentagon but I'm very reluctant to start dismantling it in case I can't get it back together again.

I have bauble overload - can't pass up a bauble bargain at all - must be beautiful, bauble syndrome! It was red, gold and green this year and I'll put in my diary to have a silver Christmas next year (brought home some bargain tinsel from B&Q one year and some bargain tinsel from the CS this. That ailment is probably - 

Tinsilitis!

I re-fashioned some gift tags which were already written on and I will now be able to 'use them again' next year. All I did was stick them onto another piece of card and re-did the holes. It's better than throwing them away. I can use my 8 pens for greetings in December.
