The lovely Dzintra *tagged* me earlier in the week. She shared seven favourite things. I thought I would run with a Christmas theme.
Before I forget... here are the rules:

Fruit Mince Pies
Each year I try different sorts from cafes and bakers but homemade are the best. I prefer a full pastry top on mine.
The Christmas Tree
Vintage Christmas Cards
It doesn't really feel like Christmas until the tree is up and decorated. It's always a shame we we have to take it down again.
Handmade Crafts
I just love giving and receiving handmade things.
Vintage Christmas Cards
I'm a sucker for a good Christmas card and especially like the vintage postcards.
Christmas Bush
Christmas in Australia means summer and heat and this wonderfully vibrant plant.

Christmas Pudding
Especially the ones about snow and cold weather!
Christmas Pudding
Even when it's in the high 30s, low 40s I still like Christmas Pudding. I enjoy making it and everyone has to stir the mixture for good luck.
Well, that's some of my Christmas favourites.
Thanks Dzintra, that was fun!
Ann
Well, that's some of my Christmas favourites.
Thanks Dzintra, that was fun!
Ann

ReplyDeletePS. What I need to know is...how, when you mention Dzintra...do you link it up??? I just cannot get it!!!
ReplyDeleteI found you when searching for Christmas vintage postcards:) The one on your blog is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely right about the tree, and growing up it was coming home from school to the smell of Mum baking Christmas cake - even though I didn't like eating it at the time (I do now!!).
ReplyDeleteYou're also right about handmade gifts - they're always the best!
