December is here and the festivities begin. I love December 1st when it's time for advent.
Every year I buy our grown up children an advent calendar and previous years I have given them a tealight calendar for their homes. This year I bought everyone chocolate calendars and an advent candle to burn each day.
Previously I have bought Hubby beers and chocolates and wrapped them individually to make a homemade personal advent. As we get older we're being a little more health conscious so I bought him a super Lindt calendar and just two beers, one for his birthday and the other for a Christmas Eve.
Hubby bought me a super Boots No.7 Beauty calender. The items inside last me ages and are the perfect size for holidays, it's a great way to add to my beauty box.
Our calendars sit under the tv ready for us to open a new window every day leading us closer to Christmas Day.
It was Needlecraft Haven Christmas Ornament Exchange opening day yesterday and I received a lovely gift and gifts but although my partner has received hers I don't think she's opened it yet so I'll post again soon.
My monthly stitching has been changed, this is my new December one that I'm not sure if I've shared. I like the series but it does niggle that there's no capital letters, something I didn't notice until I'd done them all.
