All done and dusted... and a few Christmas fripperies

Today Tony and I have finished the last of our Christmas shopping and tomorrow I am planning a mammoth wrapping session while Tony has a drive out to drop a few Christmas cards to his friends over in Darlington. Speaking of Darlington. If you live within driving distance and would like to see some beautiful Christmas lights then there's a housing estate there where virtually every house looks stunning.  I'm not sure of the name of the estate but Trevone Way is one of the roads that we drove along.. It's breathtakingly beautiful and well worth a visit. 

I haven't shared a jumper for a few days so here's another. The reindeer are much blingier than the photo implies

                                       

And of course the car needs tinsel and Santa hats doesn't it.  Tony took the tinsel off the front dashboard as he felt it was distracting

The cutlery that we are use throughout the festive period is embossed with snowflakes... of course.

And our tiny Christmas tree collection in the entrance hall is growing.

And of course we have a festive cake stand.

And Joy.. I can't find sprouts loo roll but Morrison's have loo paper that's embossed with stars... just saying  :-).. We bought some of course. Tony is planning on sneaking a roll into Alexander and Beckah's downstairs loo when we call in next.. :-) Beckah will love it and Alexander will roll his eyes... :-)
