Well, the tree is up and the little bells are doing their job of warning me when Toby starts a-climbing! This year he has a new thing too - licking all of the baubles - I think he likes looking at his tongue reflected in their surfaces and the smoothness of them! I finished 4 stockings for us, have yet to slip 4 mini tree pressies inside but at least they are hanging on the tree. We've also got a small tree for Amy where she's hung the decorations that she's collected over the last 5 years.
I'm on the ball with presents for the teachers too - didn't quite get my act together to do as beautiful job as Domesticali (she and her boys made home-made treats and home-made packaging - looked great) but I did manage to make little bags and tags for some shop-bought chocs. Another thing to tick off the list!
