Decided to start the blasted Christmas shopping today...and managed it in just three hours, huzzah! We adore Christmas at the Dolls' house; we just wish that we could celebrate it with yummy food, drink and toys yet with no financial expense....grrr!

This afternoon, Lucy Doll helped Mama to wrap up all of the presents by creating a tag for each and every person; every time I told Lulu who the present was for, she drew a picture of that person on their (home-made) tag. Without giving too much away, Grandad's were the best!!
