rosas christmas

I've done a photo shoot with the rats for christmas cards but i wasnt convinced, so i'm going to do another one with some cheapo decs and find someone with a jazzy printer to print them for me without charging me the world!

Wish i had the money to decorate my home. I'll surfice with looking at yours Rosa! :D

 

I cant get enough of looking through these and imagining i had them too! My mum is very minimulist so never had a chance to go crazy really, and just dont have the money to make my house nice this year, though if i did it deffinately would be very very similar to Rosas!!

Except deffinately excess christmas ratties! :D
Darned jeleous i must say.

 

Lovely, Rosa, but a question ... if I come to visit will I find you in there somewhere? :D :D And where is Little Rosa hiding? I didn't see room for the pressies under the tree! :eek: Where do you store it all? :rolleyes:

We will start putting ours up around the first of December and "light up" happens on 6 December, St Nicholas Day. We then keep everything up until the Twelfth Day, 6 January. Will post piccies as and when!

 

LoL you will find me in here somewhere, put all pressies in the overhead wardrobes above the bed :D :D
looking forward to seeing yours and everyones elses christmas pics

 

Hi, there, Rosa! I'm glad you and Little Rosa are there somewhere! :D

We're already discussing our decorations and they will soon be out, next week perhaps and the pics will definitely be up here ... but don't think we'll be able to compete with you, sweetie!

Are you going to Thailand for the holidays or are you at home? We are here, just the five of us, with perhaps a visit or two to friends.

We usually do duck for Christmas. In America it was always a ham because you had just had turkey for Thanksgiving, if you remember? What are you doing?

 

we are not away this year, staying home, actually looking forward to it, i just said to o/h for future xmases i would really like to enjoy my xmas at home and perhaps go away for the new year, we shall see what happens for next year.I do turkey even when i lived in the states i did turkey for christmas, the first year i lived in usa, i bought a corn fed turkey and they are horrid to sweet for me.love my turkey at xmas, thinking i may get a turkey crown this year.

Rosa,please can i come stay at yours this xmas.I`m probably only a bus ride from your house.Ill bring a lie-low and kip on your balcony.Ill earn my keep and tend your plants but please dont ask me to dust.Your home is beautiful and inviting and SPOTLESS.How do you manage to keep it that way?

 

hi elainefiz, of course you can to mine :D :D as a guest of mine you wouldnt lift a finger to help :D :D just keep on top of the dust, and you wouldnt say that iff you saw my spare room at the minute ha ha, got sketches all over and all my ornaments from the lounge are in there to, will have to put them somewere as my daughter is staying over the holidays.

 

Hi Rosa! Seeing all your photos has given me the impetus to get up into my loft and get all my decs etc down! They are now sitting on the landing, or should I say, blocking the landing! I can say that as from today I have written all my cards, and my 'gift' shopping is pretty much done! Just got the dreaded 'food' shop to look forward to!
We spent last Christmas in San Francisco, which was great, and a couple of years before that we were in Hong Kong, but it's not quite the same as being at home for Christmas. I have some classic photos of us having our xmas lunch in HKG (buffet-style with every conceivable thing you could wish for) and my son piling his plate with chicken nuggets, beans and sausages!! :D

 

hi susannah, great news now you will have to put the decorations up, my cards are just about done got a couple more to get next week then i can get them all sent.
we were in thailand last year for four weeks it wasnt the same as they dont really celebrate xmas over there, America is the best place for christmas they really know how to enjoy xmas.
A few more pressies to get and of course the food

 

took a few out of the freezer and iced them, lovely taste
