18th of December – postman and presents
Can you believe that this time next week will be Christmas Day? This morning we had our first sprinkling of snow – and more is forecast. Here in N Ireland we rarely have a white christmas, but maybe this year it will happen. For those who get tonnes of snow each year, this may look insignificant – and it is, unless you are 5!
Today’s carol service was my eldest daughter singing solo again, this time in front of over 900 pupils from her school. Parents are invited if your child is reading or doing a solo, so we had tea and mince pies in the library before attending the carol service. Again she did us proud, but she was very relieved when it was all over.
This afternoon my son and I delivered our Christmas cards to our neighbours. He was very enthusiastic, with his Santa hat and his “Ho, ho, ho!”
This evening my daughters and I wrapped the majority of our Christmas presents. George the cat sat down on top of the wrapping paper, and tried to look inconspicious, but failing!
I love to see the presents under the tree.
Have you wrapped yours yet?
Tomorrow we have a daughter turning 12 (eeek!), so we have 8 girls coming tomorrow evening for craft and a chocolate fountain.
congrats. to eldest daughter!! Just wondering how you got the picture of the TOP of the houses?? 😀 it seemed a wee bit high up for my liking, i prefer stayong on the ground! I wish we got more snow 🙁
p.s. i live on the other side of Lisburn so I think you got more snow than us!! 😛
Winter is beautiful and happy season, Merry Christmas!
Boo, still no snow in Ards. It’s tried, it really has, but nothing yet. I hope is snows later so we can go out and play in it:) Congratulations to your eldest you must be so proud.
Happy birthday to your youngest daughter, and good luck for tonight:)
NO! None wrapped yet! I have sooooo much to do still!!!
Happy SITS Saturday!

Snow is very magical when you are five! Even if it’s not very much.
Have a fun time with your daughter and her friends. Twelve is very much an in between age.
