I’ve finally finished all my Christmas shopping, and this week I took a couple of hours – with Harry Potter in the background to keep me company, and wrapped everything. I always like to make a big effort with my wrapping, and this year decided to go with a bit of a different theme, which I’m really pleased with! Now I just have to keep them hidden until the big day.<\/p>\n

We were going to head off to the Christmas Markets on Friday night, but it was so cold and wet all day, we swapped our plans in favour of a family night in with a KFC feast, a huge box of fudge, and the new Christmas film on Netflix – Klaus. Much cosier than being outside in the icy rain.<\/p>\n

On Saturday I headed over to the absolutely stunning Carlton Towers for a festive afternoon tea experience. The place is pretty breathtaking, and the afternoon tea was a lovely experience – way, way too much food to finish (which is always a good thing – and the whole place has the most festive feel to it. It’s definitely something I’d consider doing again next year.<\/p>\n

I’m getting really excited now for Christmas week. We finished our Christmas food shop (online, much less stressful!) and have that coming next Sunday – with copious amounts of cheese thrown in, exciting. I’m also going to our local church next Sunday for a carols by candlelight service, which should be lovely; and I think we are going to give our cancelled Christmas Markets trip another go, in hopefully drier weather. Lot’s to look forward to, I can’t wait!<\/p>\n
