Mistletoe hung where you can see

The estate is slowly turning into a wonderland of lights and sparkles.   

As I drive home - i see more and more acres of icicles, and projectors illuminating the fronts of the houses with snowfalls and big fat snowmen.   Wobbly santa's bouncing in front gardens, and the occasional Reindeer. (we won't mention the killing of bambi yesterday by our IT Manager) 

I think that the spirit of Christmas is slowly sinking into my cold bones and warming my humbug heart.  

 I found myself handpainting christmas cards tonight.    Those of you who aren't lucky enough to get a hand painted one will get nothing, or a rude one. 

Ah. no it's okay I'm still the grinch. 

Phew; that's a relief.
