‘Twas the night before Christmas,
When all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring …
Well, maybe one creature was stirring. Bowie is wondering what all the fuss is about, I’m sure.
And he’s heard that a big jolly guy in a red suit might come down the chimney at any moment, so he’s keeping watch.
After days of preparation, I think we are finally prepared for Christmas Day. This year, Emma had some helpers when she made the gingerbread house.
And baby Eli looks pretty impressed by how talented his mummy is!
After a year that has thrown many challenges our way, as you prepare to celebrate Christmas, I wish you …
… and …
… and everything wonderful you could wish for. ❤
In My World 
Bowie appears to be a king … regal and well-fed. 😉 Thanks for sharing the joys of your holiday with your family. Gingerbread is wonderful! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Thank you Julie. 😊 We inherited Bowie – the cat – earlier this year, when my in-laws went into aged care. He’s a gorgeous boy and right at home here now.
