Welcome to our world.
For the most part it looks quite sedate,
but there is a little undercurrent of a tiny bit of mayhem LOL

This is how my nephew, Neil, greeted us Christmas morning, he'd just visited his nephews and nieces before work (he's a chef, and a very good one too!) the youngest now thinks that Uncle Neil is SANTA !!!
It was my sister's birthday on Sunday so I made her some of her favourite sweets.
She's not one for sweets much (haven't a clue who she takes after???)
but she does like marzipan covered walnuts.
I'd already given her her present before Christmas,
but everyone needs something to open on their birthday, don't they ?
(BTW, these are the ones that wouldn't fit in the box)

Last night (29th) she and her husband came for their annual meal too.
I don't get chance to do posh often, so I like to make the most of it,
and laid the table,
lit the candles and placed the crackers

After, we always play some game or other, and last nights game was cards.
Take 2 was the main game. we play for chocolate money,
and after exchanges of coins
(some legal, some not)
Bro-in-Law decided that the very last game
(after midnight) should be a winner-takes-all pot.

And to finish, just a few more pics of my tree.
Did I say I love my tree???

Hi Elaine! I love your tree and your dining table looked so pretty! What a lovely dinner party you must have had and fun, I like the idea of playing for chocolate money! I love the look of lit candles and the twinkle of tree lights, I miss them when they are put away. I still have my main tree up and will take it down tomorrow.
A belated Happy Brithday to your sister and my DH said to tell you thank you for the birthday wishes!
A very Happy New Year to you and those you love!
Martha
