A mince pie isn't the only new decoration on our tree this year. And no, I'm not referring to the cats - neither has attempted to climb it - so far, at least :)
We actually have twelve gold coloured, glass stars. I'd almost forgotten about them, as I'd bought them on sale at the beginning of this year. But they are really lovely, beautifully made and hung with some gorgeous, soft, green velvet ribbon. I still haven't got round to making some dried orange slices, but hopefully I will find the time at the weekend.
This evening, I've been out for an early Christmas meal with some friends. It was such a nice and relaxed atmosphere, and the food was absolutely delicious. It's not often that I eat a three course meal, so I'm feeling rather full now.
Tomorrow night I'm off out again! This time it will be for my work's Christmas celebrations. I'm not quite sure what to expect but I've been told it will be quite different to our usual Christmas party. And also, that I should wear something which will keep me warm!

DeleteLove the glass decoration, the lights always shine through glass so beautifully. Oh wear something warm, intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI made sure that I was dressed nice and warmly - I even had some hand-warmers in my pocket! Thankfully I didn't need them. X
DeleteIt all sounds so nice...the tree is lovely and getting together with friends - maybe the work party includes a little sledding (on one of those perfect hills!) or caroling in your future...keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteSledging would have been fun. I might suggest that as an idea for next year. Xx
DeleteIntriguing...let's hope it's not ice skating :(...beautiful stars. x
ReplyDeleteSadly not ice-skating, but that's another good idea for next year. Xx
DeleteBeautiful glass ornament and quite different, sounds a great meal, 3 course!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Chris. The meal was delicious. I'm glad that I chose a lighter option for my dessert. X
