The run-up to Christmas

Christmas is coming the goose is getting fat... (as are we!)



We went to the annual lantern parade in Newbury (the first time we have been), our new year's resolution is to attend the workshop the week before so we can make a lantern too (much easier resolution than loosing weight!)

This was followed by an balloon acrobatic display, really beautiful (but I imagine the lady had pneumonia over Christmas!). This was followed by carol singing in our road with all our neighbours which was really magical.



We were very domesticated (i.e., a jar of mince meet and ready-made pastry!) ad made some mince pies on Christmas Eve so that Santa could have a fresh one!




Post the mince-pies we went to an area where they have lots of Christmas lights for charity to get in the mood (this might end up being one of our Christmas Eve traditions - we are still experimenting though!).
