Sparkling christmas

Our tree is up,  we've got lights on the broomstick, we're ready for Yule, Christmas, Santa Clause, St Nicholas, Epiphany, Befena the witch...and  anyone that generally wants to rock up and celebrate light and love and family... 

Me and Tiddlypom had a lovely christmas afternoon with the nursery kids and parents yesterday and with today's festive spirit and the seriously sparkly Strictly Come Dancing final on the telly, it seemed like a good time for a cheeky prossecco... cracking into the gold and glittery bottle provided by our mate Rory the other week :-) 

So I'm raising a glass to friends, family  and strangers (aka friends yet to meet)... far and near... and sending out hugs and kisses... hope you're all feeling a little bit of joy and light even though it's dark outside... ( except to my brother and family... for them down under, I hope your sunscreen is factor 50 and your beer is cold) XXX
