The Advent Calendar is filled and counting down the days. (Drawers 1 - 7 have already been emptied and reversed.)
My Village is assembled and bringing me much pleasure each morning and afternoon. This photo was taken a couple of years ago and as usual, it's never the same two years in a row so it looks different again this year. There's been a few additions, one highlight being a marching band.
And of course, the Creche is awaiting the arrival of its special guests. It actually sits empty now, since the guests don't arrive until the 24th.
Christmas is such a busy, blessed season.
