Today I put out some decorations. A piece of lovely chintz my mother bought me with stars. I bundle it all up and place candles on top. It looks great. I put my sisters beautiful candle with pine boughs on top.

I have started making cookies today too. Grinding my spices for the Peppernuts. I will move onto the shortbread later or maybe tomorrow.

Thanks to my cousin I watched an 'elf yourself' video and another cousin posted a great Christmas video on Facebook.

That covers it for today.
