I bought some half price crackers in Sainsburys over the weekend, for next year

I've forced myself to get on today, and have wrapped all the prezzies and written out the gift tokens, also wrapped Granddaughters birthday prezzie I kept hold of and done her card - sorted

I can relax now and just go with the flow

I have a feeling it's mandarin and cranberry but the wrapping is in the bin. It's one of the little tarts that you put on your burner and it melts. The smell is so lovely. I've not smelled your Christmas cupcake but I'll bet it's yummy.

I could only find Christmas Eve in a really huge size so even though I love it I'm sticking with Warm Spice & Macintosh Spice (a new one on me) a gorgeous Cinnamon smell i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/tongue.gif

My girls have got a new trick this year, when you're in the room with them they don't take any notice of the tree at all, we were only upstairs 5 mins last night getting ready for bed & then we heard the chink chink bash of someone bashing a ball about i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/rolleyes.gif i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/grin.gif , went downstairs & they were both sitting there like butter wouldn't melt, spoiled only by the small pile of baubles under the tree.
