christmas is coming
now I have my stamps from GKD and raring to go ... so have started with a group of 6 for my soprano friends...i just love the feel of christmas coming.. anticipation from all those years ago.. watching my mum making the mincemeat for pies.. and christmas puddings with silver threepenny bits in there.. ( one for everyone) we always thought it was just pure luck!.. and oh the excitement of hanging one of my dads socks on the end of thebed... and we were thrilled with the little presents and oranges/ nuts / crayons and books in side on christmas morning.. unlike today where pillow slips are the go and presents downstairs too.. just goes to show how much more affluent this generation is.

ReplyDeleteLovely card! Love hearing about your childhood memories! Mine are similar..mincemeat pies & pecan pies, fudge hand whipped till the right "sheen" appeared, oranges & apples were our special treat...and on Christmas morning ribbon candy!
