I bet if you've been on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook today you'll have seen at least one mention of a Christmas Elf. I know I've seen at least twenty but that's probably because someone added me to a Christmas elf Facebook group without me noticing ;-)In case you don't know, a Christmas elf is an elf who comes to live with your family for the run up to Christmas. He keeps an eye on everyone and then at night he reports to Santa how well behaved everyone's been. He might be a little mischievous and he'll more than likely hide somewhere different each morning when he gets back from … [Read more...]
Our Christmas Eve Traditions….
In case you haven't already guessed - I love Christmas!I think I'm a bit odd though as I look forward to Christmas Eve more than the big day itself. I'm not sure if it's the anticipation for the day ahead or if it's just because we have a set routine on Christmas Eve that I love and look forward to.We get up when we get up and have home made pancakes for breakfast followed by a trip to the cinema usually to see a Christmassy film. This year we're having some lovely friends and their children round for a couple of hours in the afternoon so we're not going to the pictures but we'll be … [Read more...]
Contact Santa for free….
Even though Miss Frugal is no longer a believer, she's been really good helping us keep the magic of Santa alive for her brother. Which means that I get at least one extra year of both of them taking part in all of our Santa traditions ;-)We've started our festive season by writing our letters to Santa - currently hanging on the tree in our special felt envelopes addressed to Santa but we will be sending them off to Santa in the next couple of days because he probably won't have time to pop by our house before the big day to see what we've asked for!We use the Royal Mail Santa … [Read more...]

Homemade Snowman Soup {with a free printable tag}….
Snowman soup is one of my favourite things about Christmas! We've been making our version of snowman soup, both as a treat for us and as a little homemade gift for family and friends, ever since the kids were very little and it's become one of our favourite family traditions.I'm a fan of making snowman soup as a gift for people because (a) it doesn't cost much to make, (b) it's fun and a little bit unusual and most importantly of all, (c) it's really easy to make yet it doesn't have to look homemade.I do love the idea of homemade Christmas gifts but I must admit that when I make … [Read more...]
