Nearly here...

The mince pies have been made (and eaten. And made again...)

All food should have edible glitter

Nativities have been watched, baby Jesus has been dropped, and one star was particularly squishy.

Boy2 shining [with Tim Minchin's hair]

Presents have been sent from as far away as Australia

Included from Kylie was this fantastic kids' annual
She also sent amazing linens and caramel koalas. Swoon.
[K, I know they were for the boys. They got some, honest guv]

And from stars who are closer to home

Decoration from Miss Tea

A nautical scarf from Kat



I'm not quite Kirstie, but there are a few homemade touches here and there

This was going to be for a child, but I thought better of it.
Note the pocket to maximise present potential

Gingerbread house

Cereal box and wrapping paper wreath

The cake. 
Jay-Z was delighted with his bling from Hip-hop Santa

We're in Wales as of tomorrow so leaving it all behind. Aside from the presents and a vast Christmas cake. That comes with, balanced on a boy. Maybe the elves will have packed everything away again by the time we get home. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas or a Happy Channukah (both, if you're my in-laws).

  9. Love all your homemade bits (even the pasta angel!). My daughter made that wrapping paper wreath last year. Where it is though, I know not -been overshadowed by the plastic bag wreath obviously (oh God, I'm still going on about it...)

    BTW I blame you for the fact my mincepies are now covered in red edible glitter - perhaps I got a bit carried away!!

  20. I love boy2's star suit, he looks fantastic (does Tim Minchin know about the hair theft?).
    That wreath is also brilliant, almost as good as the pasta angels.
