Christmas Cheer

Thank you for all the comments on yesterday's post! I'll be choosing the winner next Monday, December 27, so there's still plenty of time to comment to be entered in the draw. I won't be posting again until then, so...

Merry Christmas, all!


Have a safe, happy and relaxing festive time with friends and family -- and plenty of cupcakes, wine and whatever else takes your fancy.


I leave you with this Christmas-y video (ignore me) of the Christmas Market in Hyde Park last Saturday.

    Thank you!

    And in case anyone's wondering... the dirnk in my hand in the video is indeed mulled wine. Score!

    Wow, that's so beautiful! I wish we had that sort of thing around here.

    Mulled wine is full of awesome. I'm going to be having some myself...

    OMG, Talli! You are too adorable for words! And THAT is what Christmas should look like. All that snow, reflecting in the twinkling lights. It's so warm here today that I have the windows open. Not Christmas-y at all!

    Happy Holidays!!

    Ooh I've been to the Hyde Park Christmas thing but never in the snow, that makes it super-awesome!

    The first time I went I had to drive later, so only one small mulled wine for me. The second time I planned better and indulged in not only mulled wine but mulled cider. Mmmmmm....

    Merry Christmas Talli!
