One of my lists was ideas for my December blog posts now I'm back to daily posting and it's going to be a Christmas photo every day for 24 days. For people who say "Bah Humbug to Christmas" ....... you'll just have to shut your eyes when you read my blog!!
Advent picture 1 is, appropriately, an advent calendar.
Our last Advent calendar was found in a charity shop a couple of years ago but the little doors won't stay shut any more so when I saw this in a National Trust shop when we were away on holiday I splashed out. Behind each number is a picture showing Christmas decorations from NT Houses all round the country. I'm looking forward to opening each window.
