Santa Claus is coming tonight


This was the last Advent present: a hedgehog wearing a Santa hat. Hedgehogs are significant to Mr L and me... and not all that often associated with Christmas, so well done and thank you, dear Daughter 2.


We went for a walk today...


... through the Ravelston Woods to Blackhall, where, to our disappointment, the café was closed - you'd think it was a holiday season or something.


However, we went to Marks and Spencer instead because... well, you know. It was there. And so were cheese scones.


Then we worked them off by walking along the cycle track...


... and homeward.

 
Then we watched "Bargain Hunt" and wrapped the presents. Later, I did some ironing. Got to make Christmas Eve special.
 
So Happy Christmas when it comes (or, in my Antipodean friends' cases, when it came). We shall be here in our silent, tidy house... quite enjoying it.
