I really am in a pensive mood today...a cup of tea is the remedy -best drink of the day  |
Funny that, I'm normally a tea drinker as coffee sends me haywire. The only place I can drink it is in Italy, in those tiny cups that are so small you can hardly get the spoon in.
Shame about the cards, I don't do much for Christmas but I do like to send and receive cards. I decorate with lots of greenery (ivy mainly) and Richard and I always have a proper Christmas dinner, sometimes with an aged relative, but not this year, so we don't have to have turkey (she would turn her nose up at anything else) and can treat ourselves to duck instead. Hooray!

Christmas to me is a real family time -many of the traditions I follow come through from my own childhood and are little traces of the family even further back...

You're right, I keep up some traditions from way back, just for the two of us...
