I don't know about you ..... but I'm building up to Christmas.

Just spent a great long weekend in London, seeing all the Christmas lights, lots of people wearing tinsel and Christmasy things on their heads!  (See my previous post for more on this.)

I've got over half of my shopping done!!!!

On Friday, my daughters will be coming home for the holidays from Madrid where they are at university.  My house is full of decorations (many of them made by myself this year! - really getting into making things thanks to inspiration from the internet and pinterest!!)

Christmas cake is made, more cooking will take place this weekend and next week!!

Tree goes up today!  (The only decoration we haven't put up yet!)

Christmas cards were posted on Wednesday.  Christmas cards from family and friends have started to arrive.  This year, I plan to display them like this:

I hope to meet up with friends over the holidays, as well as my brother and sister-in-law as they are coming over to Europe from California.

I thought I'd have a look on the internet for what Christmas adverts are being shown in the UK this year and loved the one for John Lewis.


I also found another advert explaining how the advert was made.  I thought it would be very useful for classes next week.


Hope you enjoy watching these videos!  I did!
