Happy almost New Year!
Today marks the final part of my mini Christmas series 'Snippets Of Christmas'. This has been the first ever series on my blog and i'm pleased to say it was one I came up with myself. I generally take a whole lot of pictures, but this mini project has had me taking a whole lot more, perhaps even of things I wouldn't necessarily have captured before!
This past week has been pretty darn wonderful, not just because of Christmas day, but because I finally managed to slow down, relax and enjoy myself! Early on in the week one of my closest friends came over and we had a baking session and made the edible place settings for christmas day dinner at my parents (and a Simon gingerbread too).
Since myself and Simon became a couple around 6 and a half years ago, we have always spent Christmas Eve together having our very own little Christmas together and we continued the tradition when we moved in together. For 'Our Christmas' we got up bright and early to exchange gifts to one and other, and open those to both of us. We carried on a fairly new tradition of going to the pub for lunch with Simons family where we stayed for a good few hours before going on to the Harvester for tea!
On Christmas day we each went to our own parents for a morning of present opening and bacon barm eating before getting together again to spend the rest of Christmas Day at my parents house! My Mums Christmas dinner is absolutely huge and absolutely incredible every single year.
Boxing day to me is where Christmas ends and I begin to think about the New Year! We spent boxing day at simons parents playing with our nieces and eating more good food.
It wouldn't be a true She Andd Him blog post without Pookie now would it?
Well that is all from me and my Snippets Of Christmas. I hope you all had the most fantastic Christmas, and a big old Happy New Year to you too!
