The first of the Christmas get togethers...

Today was a busy day for me. This morning I went to my SIL's Ladies Christmas Lunch that she hosts each year for her 'crafting' friends. As I'm now retired this was my first year at this 'do'. M decorates her house in the same way that people in the US do...from top to bottom her house is full of Christmas magic. My BIL and SIL have a beautiful home and they are both such welcoming hosts. Most of the items which are decorating the house (wall hangings, banners etc), have been made by M herself and these items are a real credit to her. I took a number of photos but realise now that I left some rooms out. Here are some of the photos...












At 2 o'clock I headed off for my 6 monthly check up at the cardiologist. (No big dramas, just developed a racing heart after DD2 was born) He was happy with all the test results and the BP and pulse reading he took...so I'm VERY happy!

After that it was off to meet some former work colleagues for our month Coffee catch up. They are all still working and are really looking forward to the long holidays coming up. I'll see them again in a few weeks when I attend the Year 7 graduation dinner at school, as I got my invitation yesterday.

So after all that dashing around today DH and I are going to settle down for a quiet dinner and some ABC shows...absolute bliss!

    Thank you Maria for taking me along to see all those beautiful decorations. Love all the rooms.
    Relaxing in front of the tele sounds great.

    Wow they do go all out. I am planning to decorate a bit more this year myself. The past couple of years have been so ruff for us that I've only put up two small trees and that is it. But now that Greg and his girl are celebrating their second Christmas as boyfriend/girlfriend I think I should do more. So over the weekend I will pull things out and see about buying a new large tree to decorate. I should be able to pick one up at half off this weekend IF I can stand the idea of hitting the shops. LOL... I'm working tonight's madness but have "black Friday" off. And I'm so very glad that your appointment went so well.
