How quickly is this year going?
I was up rather late trying to finish off some advent
stockings ( which I failed) before sorting out the kids advent calendars. We
have ones that you can reuse every year, so I just put chocolate coins in each
year and a joke in Matthews’s. I have a Yankee Candle one this year for the
first time. I have wanted one of those for several years so this year I decided
to treat myself and I used my Boots points, so in effect I got it for free.
Every year we try to do some family activity together each
day. Unfortunately this week I am away with work so I have chosen activities
which the kids can do even if Craig goes out. On Friday, Craig and I are out so
our usual Film night will be child only. I feel really guilty about leaving
them to their own devices especially at this time of year but I hope we can
still have lots of fun and family time.
Some of these activities are quick for when time is short
but at weekends I do try to choose activities that last longer.
