Christmas is coming. Bought our Christmas Tree on Friday morning.
On Friday night we had the Annual Gingerbread House Building Competition. This is now the third year and the competition is hotting up. Below are the six finalists. Despite Alison and Nev's shameless attempts to put out the lights and illuminate their house with sparklers.
The judge, (one of our neighbours, Pat Stirling,) refused all bribes, ignored all hints, nudges and threats and chose Rick and Katie's two roomed bungalow (need to tighten up the rules for next year!) as the winner!
On Sarturday morning Lilian and Katie decorated the Christmas Tree and we spent a quiet afternoon reading the paper, listening to carols and playing "Phase 10".

Just been to the Sing Carols recording for BBC, loved your story, the tan and your ever so classy suit! I've been following your Sabbatical blog with interest, by the way I'm Chemical's Mum or should I say Reformed workaholic's Mum! Have a Blessed Christmas

Oops did it twice!
Hi Thanks for that (twice!) Hope you enjoyed the night. Unfortunately the tan has faded, the suit was rented and the story was made up! I always enjoy Sing Carols although it can turn out to be a long night. Carrick Grammar School choir were excellent.
