MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
Here we are on the Big Day! It's been a really busy month filled with lovely goings-on but I am going to have a good break for a few days. The tuba is packed away, the Christmas music is back in its folder and I am going to enjoy a couple of whiskies!!
I have tried to decorate my house elegantly but what can you do when your menfolk do this:
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas :-)
And this:
You can probably work out who did this!! Lol. It shall stay there for the rest of the festive season as it makes me laugh!
And this:
Hope you have a marvellous day - thank you for all the desky fun and crafty shenanigans this year. I'm looking forward to the programme featuring my band this evening. If you watch it, hope you'll see why I adore playing in a brass band xxxx
Merry Christmas to you all xxxx

Very Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Made me laugh too! I hope to catch up with the programme when I get back from my brother's tomorrow so I hope it is on iplayer somewhere... Have a fabulously happy Christmas. Helen #1
Happy Christmas Jan. Hope you have a lovely day. Sue
Love your tree and wreath decorations at least they are drying socks on the tree. Hope you have a good Christmas and a Healthy New Year. Ani#8
All set to record and looking forward to seeing it on our return home Jan. Merry Christmas to you and G (funny guy!) and happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
Love the sense of humour that your family bring to your life and you share with us.
Not sure if we can get the programme on tv up here as reception is not good but will try and if not there is always catch up when we get home.
Have a wonderful day, a wonderful festive period with your lovely family. Can imagine it is full of laughter in the Appleton House.
Hugs, (raising a glass of gin later to you although I must admit the whisky last night went down well)

Wishing you a merry christmas and it looks like you have the best dressed tree and table centre. Lunch must be a hoot when you all come together. Thank you for your lovely card.

Merry Christmas, Jan. I'm just about to put the potatoes in the oven but I have a few seconds to wish you and yours a wonderful day. Hugs, Elizabeth x #17
Hiya Jan, and Merry Christmas to you all. Laughing at the decorations! Have a lovely Christmas week, Hugs, Shaz #11 X
Merry Christmas Jan. I love the 'alternative' Christmas decor! No desk for me this week as my craf room is also my guest room. Love and hugs, Heather xx
Merry Christmas, Jan. I absolutely love the alternative star. While it's up there you can't wash the dishes. Perhaps you could leave the tree up till Easter, at the very least! Hugs, Elizabeth x #17
Love your photographs 🤣. Wishing you a merry Christmas Angela #18 X
I really did LOL (Laugh Out Loud - very loud!) when I saw those photos, Jan!!! Totally brilliant. There's nothing like a sprout to be at the centre of things - and at the end of January perhaps we will have to stop calling them Brussels sprouts and call them Brexit sprouts instead lol!! I did roasted sprouts with cranberries and maple syrup as usual - delicious, except they were a bit small and got a bit overdone. Very tasty though! Recipe will probably follow next week.
Despite rubber gloves being found in inappropriate places, I hope you have had a very happy day. We were very quiet, just the 2 of us, but I was very busy in the kitchen and then this evening had to make a pudding to take with us tomorrow when we are with my hubby's family for Boxing Day. I'm kitchened out now... Just watched Call the Midwife together and shed a few tears!
Thank you for your lovely comment - so glad you like my latest Celtic Zentangle. It was great fun to do. I must find my George Bain book on Celtic art and develop some more traditional designs.
Happy WOYWW and hugs,

It's good to see the men folk joining in with the seasonal prep, although like you i'm not sure how helpful they truly are.. bless them. Hope you had a super day yesterday? Today I get chance to put my feet up after I finish cleaning up after everyone :/ Happy Woyww and look forward to doing it all again in 2020.
Hugs Tracey #7 xx
My intentions really were good yesterday. I planned to visit all the WOYWWers at some point between our visits but it just didn't happen so here I am, a day late. I am determined to call on each and every one of you to wish you a wonderful Festive time, thank you for all the love and friendship over the last year and to say I really hope we can enjoy many more WOYWW over the next year.
Much love and the biggest hugs,
Annie x #5
Someone obviously has a sense of homour at yours, loving the glove fairy! Happy belated woyww with hugs, Angela x9x
Now I know why you were said to offer sprouts on Julia's post.
Happy Christmas to you too Jan, although belatedly, love the creative fun there and yes it does make me chuckle esp the red glove! 😉😁😊
Thanks for sharing, and may God bless you.

Dear Jan!
Also belated, (but I wrote "real" post to you), thanks for wishing us Christmas and thanks for the funny pictures. The cabbage sprouts look nice in the tied wreath. Smile!
Lots of hugs,
Eva from Austria
Oh my, I thought I’d have more time to visit than ever, turns out we’ve had people every day till now. Argh. Either of our trees has a suitable topper, am thinking that Mr A may have started a trend!! Made me Laugh Out Loud...so helpful. As for the sprouts....have you spent the whole of Christmas Eve on a scavenger hunt?!!
