Christmas Has Hit The Snell-Pym Household (by sarah)
Here is the first of the water colours I have painted as an Advent thing. I am also doing something slightly different for the girls Advent this year, involving the stories I have written for them which I hope to get some good pictures of, to share.
Alaric has been blasting the Christmas tunes and Jean did her Christmas shopping at the village craft fayre at the weekend. I am still mightily ill and have been emailing people to say I can't make things this week which sucks - next week I could have afforded to be ill - never mind - especially as it means I have had to rest and just watch films as I wasn't capable of really knitting or writing or anything and that was the good bits the bad bits were spent in bed not sleeping.
The girls are both uber excited about Christmas and I feel sad I couldn't sort things to put the decorations up tonight which had been the plan. Jean has been occupying herself by making Christmas decorations and Mary is trying to be good for Christmas and was even convinced to sit still for bed time story - they had Percival's Christmas Wish though Al had to read it as I have no voice.
We are now sorting out mine and Al's Advent treats though we didn't get to do the main shop for them but it contains Toffee Apple Cider and Root Beer.
Christmas is go and no Humbug do I want to hear!
