My good friend Jackie is going to a warmer climate for Christmas so we recently met up and did our Christmas gift swap early. Oddly enough she gave me two chicken gifts and I gave her two chicken gifts. Now wasn’t that surprising!
Yesterday we met up with family and Grandchildren for swapping Christmas gifts as they are also going to a warmer climate for Christmas. Oddly enough I received a gift with chickens on. I do so love my chicken based gifts.
Today we bought our Christmas tree and I decorated it this afternoon. We usually have it in the dining room but once we got it home we realised it was bigger then usual. We decided to put it in the sitting room in front of the window.
As well as decorating the tree I decided to use some of my chicken themed things as part of my Christmas decorations.
I recently posted about the chicken jug I bought myself for putting flowers in. Here it is as part of our Christmas decorations.

Here are my Christmas mugs, part of my gift from our family, also part of our decorations.

Jackie put my recent group photo of my girls on a mug and a book for my lovely Christmas gift.

Lastly here is our Christmas tree.

I am usually so last minute with these things but this year we have decided to give up working at weekends and it has made such a difference. I am so much more organised this year. I am now looking forward to Christmas.
