Christmas Time ... again
OK, so 1 September is meant to be the first day of spring and winter solstice was two and half months ago but when have we ever been on time for anything? It had all the elements that make a "real" Christmas. Everyone cooking for a week, enough food to feed several armies, gifts that defy description, a guest list that grew by the day, fairy lights, enough "bubbles" to gas up the nation, a "big" table and a "childrens" table, neighbours having to loan chairs and dishes ... in the big scheme of things it was perfect! 
And a fairy needs friends - what's Christmas without a cracker & a reindeer and a friendly Christmas Tree? A Christmas pooch helps too, hats of every description and don't forget the "Wise Woman". There was a "girls" table and of course the traditional "men standing around the fire" thing going on ...
Like every good Christmas there has to be a Boxing Day. Champagne & chocolate for breakfast wearing our best jamies. Yes just like Christmas.

I agree! Do tell, though, how to factor in the "twelve days?" And could you possibly share the recipe for that incredible looking chocolate tree? Looks amazing, and like it would light up a child's eyes sufficiently to provide the electricity for everything else included in the celebration. Merry, merry!!
Well that's a great Christmas celebration if I ever saw one! The thing is I don't think I ever saw one where the participants dressed up in costumes! We tend to do that at Hallowe'en! Looks like loads of fun and more "Christmassy" than having it in the middle of summer!

What a wonderful time you had! I have been going through Mad Cow withdrawl...the only cure is a good chat with my MerMaid Pal!
