Christmas time, mistletoe and.....beards

When I said in my last post that I have a thing for men with beards, I didn't believe for a moment that all my dreams would come true.

Look at his cheeky festive hand!
 We've had a festive weekend, and no, not just so I can indulge in fake white beards for my own personal pleasure.

I promised Father Christmas that I had been a good girl but Mrs Christmas pointed at my bump and snorted "I don't think you have my dear!". True, I can't deny it. Shenanigans have happened that make me slightly less good than usual, it's got to be said...

He even said I could sit on his lap, but I didn't want to break the poor chap's knee caps so I left that to the kids.


So we rode the Santa steam train:





 ....and we've been to a Christmas tree festival:

Fake plastic trees.............they were all merry and bright

This was my fave, a tree with a curry theme. Yummo.


You think you've seen it all, then they come up with this.
A poppadom bauble....
Even the angels were made of Indian takeaway menus. Genius.
And we've pigged out on roast  dinners and stuffed our faces with mince pies while all huddled up on the sofa watching The Goonies. I resemble Chunk more and more as each day passes.....

I am nesting nicely now and all my hospital bags are packed. Four days til due date. I'm so busy nesting, I haven't so much as sniffed the inside of a cherry tree shop though. Sorry to disappoint.

I am feeling so Christmassy, even though it looks like this where we live. It's still cold though. Brrrrrrrrr.

I bet I'm not the only one whose heart skipped a beat when I saw that you had a new post!!! I was sort of kind of hoping you'd have your baby on my birthday (last Saturday)!

My two are suddenly too old to visit Santa now - do you think it would be odd if a 42 year old woman went on her own??? I'd probably get arrested.

That poppadom bauble? Genius!

No doubt by now you have popped little junior out. I really hope you and the family are doing well and that you all have a fantastic Christmas.
Who knows, perhaps next year will be the year we finally manage to meet up :)

Lots of love x x x x
