The Town has started getting ready for Christmas…

… and inspired by the goings on in town, I put up my own fairy lights on the balcony railing today. I haven’t turned them on yet though, except briefly to check that they were working. But the 1st Advent weekend is only 1½ week away! And today was a good day to get the job done – sunny and dry.

Paul Simon: Getting Ready For Christmas Day

  1. I love those rustic candle holder, I've seen them being sold here but of course not so rustic as they are brand new. Christmas decorations are up in most malls as early as 1st November. Being surrounded by malls around my urban island, it's a great time for me to hit the store....again! :)Our tiny little island is known as a shopping heaven.

  2. It wouldn't be so hard getting ready if I listened to this song the whole time. What a clever video, with the way they do the church sign!

  8. I refuse to believe that I have to get my Northern Hemisphere Christmas Cards done very soon. In fact to get the non-air rate they should already have been posted I think. No chance!
