(A month of colds/sinusitis and coughs) But I've always been left cold by the numerous adverts for the perfect Christmas and make me pretty cross at the pressure it gives some families to have a perfect one. So I'm not going to worry that I haven't filled my handmade crackers or made any mince pies yet or that the oven really needs a clean. I'll do what I can and if I have to it will be aunt Bessie's roast potatoes with our turkey and I'll send the hubby out for cheapie crackers from the corner shop....xAlanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02156578755014996910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-32285064804556393672013-12-12T10:22:19.537+00:002013-12-12T10:22:19.537+00:00Pretty page Sian, and I like your philosophy that ...Pretty page Sian, and I like your philosophy that Christmas just has to be nice. I smiled at your "clean house" on that list - I can relate - I always make sure that I clean house right before we leave on vacation - so that I can do nothing when we get back.

It is not sponsored by amazon yet :-) My kids have had to deal with a budget (shock and awe) and by gum they have stepped up this couple of years and we work as a team to the budget. Exciting? Not soo much as previous "believing" years but wholehearted and understood and expected (and entering our second year debt free January :-) ).<br /><br />Great post xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13706417515004034669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-50722173885296519932013-12-11T18:45:05.422+00:002013-12-11T18:45:05.422+00:00I love your list.
