We have to admit it. This year we have completely abandoned our usual principle of “Christmas does not start until the 3rd week of December”. It’s just impossible not to get into the spirit now we have a 5 and 3 year old.
Christmas cookies have been baked.

Letters to Santa have already been written and left by the fireplace.The kids have both already had their school Xmas concerts.
There's no longer much school work going on - the last couple of weeks are all about trips to the park, fun swimming sessions, Christmas movies, school picnics etc. Even better - no more homework! (oops, I shouldn't really say that, but it's a huge bonus not to have to fit in a reader, spelling, news preparation etc etc every night at the moment).
Presents have been purchased (well, not all - sorry Jake!).
All our cards have been written & posted, and lots of cards and presents have started to arrive from all over the world (thanks everyone!).
The Christmas CD has been retrieved from storage and has already been played too many times.
Alfie has sat on Santa’s knee and advised him of the importance of having a Bey Blade in his stocking this year.
And the tree went up yesterday.
(The alien was Molly's prize in a dancing competition at the local village fair this weekend, and is now an important member of the family).
