Tis the season to break out the twinkly and gaudy decorations. And for kids to write letters that start with,

Dear Santa, in metallic red paint effect.

All in the hopes that they get beautiful, neatly wrapped presents, in paper like this,

Merry Christmas in Check.

marked,

From Santa, in red metallic paint effect.

On Christmas Day.

Now that Halloween and Thanksgiving is behind us for another year, we can emerge ourselves in the Christmas spirit. I don’t know about you, but I prefer not to start with Christmas until the 1st of December. I don’t count the days or sleeps starting from August. I don’t break out the decorations ready for Thanksgiving. I just wait till December starts….well with the exception of some present buying. As having family across the pond negates a little premature preparation, in order to send it to them in time (I’m always too late for the post office deadline, one day i’ll make it).

But once December hits and the space has been cleared for one of these,

Squiggly Christmas Tree.

then its time to get,

Ready For Santa, in red paint effect.

We break out the numerous boxes hidden last January in the hunt for lots of these,

A Christmas Bauble In Blue.

A Christmas Bauble In Green.

And we may even get around to hanging one of these on the door this year,

Squiggly Christmas Wreath

And watch countless movies on tv. Featuring the big man in read with his eight,

Christmas Stag.

Stag.

Or perhaps look out the window to beautiful wintery scenes and wildlife,

The Robin.

But most of all this month I shall be wishing eveyone. My family, friends, and all of you,
A VERY….

Merry Christmas, in red metallic paint effect.
