Tidings of comfort and joy

Everywhere you look, Christmas is creeping up on you. 











In the shops, in the street, and in our home.

The food traditions are underway.





I am on the search for a good dessert to take  - yule log or something (not Xmas pud cos only Mum likes it - need something for all of us) so if you have a good Sydney suggestion, let me know. Currently looking at The Grounds (would like to pay less) or Tokyo Lamington (but we did that last year).







And then other than wrapping and cards, I'm sorted. The problem with the cards is I ordered special ones and they've yet to arrive. Curse you Bottas!









Are you feeling happy this Christmas period? I'm remarkably stress free, which probably means I've forgotten something. Or someone.










The #XmasLinky is for Christmas themed posts, open Friday until Sunday night. You can share two posts, but please then comment on as many.

  1. I've been seeing alot of christmas decorations in different towns over the last couple of weeks, not that many here though which is a shame.

  2. The trees and Christmas lights are beautiful.
    I started early, so my cards are mailed and presents are wrapped.
    Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.

    1. Our local bakery makes a cherry or berry pie but Australia is not a big pie place. Well, that's wrong. We're a HUGE meat pie place...not a fruit pie place.

  5. I must admit I'm not very Christmassy. Ever and definitely not this year. Thankfully I don't have many pressies to buy and we're going away (briefly) so I don't need to think about decorations.
