a big fat christmas hug to you all!
i've been waiting to find an excuse for a bit of nigella lighting...
and christmas is that opportunity!
{i've been admiring her lit up pantry shelves for months.}
i love having the excuse to buy gifts...
to eat the sweet delights i've fasted from over the last three months...
to have my mr w home for two weeks
&
as much of the family around as is possible these days.
as has already been said 'presence is much more important than presents'.

...this says it all for me.
wishing you and your family
a thoroughly blessed and abundant
Christmas...
with heaps of fun, friendship and family
&
a peaceful, prosperous and joy filled
year to come!
