Getting Christmassy... and some long overdue "thank you"s

Many weeks ago, I was lucky enough to meet some lovely bloggers in London, when they let me gatecrash their lunch in Covent Garden.

I was also lucky enough to receive all sorts of fabtastic gifties from said bloggers, which are now all helping to make things festive chez chicken.

This beautiful little quilt from Lesley has pride of place amid my living room decorations:


These gorgeous bracelets from Emma and Val are making my wrists all sparkly and party-like:


And this little gem from Lucy is wonderfully seasonal... although I can't bring myself to use it for its intended purpose... it's just too pretty!


In other Christmas news, we have adorned Spike the Vicious Houseplant with his annual garb of glittery baubles:


And this afternoon we have made one hundred Christmas biscuits (this picture is only about half of the total):


We still have to add icing, but after several hours in the kitchen already, my enthusiasm has started to wane... bulk-catering obviously isn't my calling...

However, my festive spirit is still strong as an ox, so it just remains for me to say:

Happy Christmas to anyone who has stopped by to read this - may you have a lovely time over Christmas, and wishing you all happiness for 2009.

Oooh, smashing xmassy goodies there.

I hope that you and the NBM had a fabulous Christmas and didn't get too full of christmas biscuits!

Thanks for the heads-up about the PG tips ad, I tuned in after 9 and wouldn't let Simon do his usual channel hopping during the ad-breaks. Brill!

Happy New Year to you both.
