I'm sure many of you are thinking the same thing about the day that was 25 December 2012. I'm so sad it's over already. But we'll always have the memories...
Glad you had a lovely day! We did too. Simple and special. Love the picture of jacky-ginge and his tinsel collar. We have to keep tinsel well away from our lovely boy as he eats it.
Dear Hen.. thanks for sharing photos of your day. Ours was great fun too.. I put a full post of photos up 2 days ago - if you want to see you'll have to scroll down past a post I just put up. I look forward to our friendship into the next year.
Looks like you had a lovely day. It did seem to fly past so quickly this year. Pleased to see I wasn't the only one who took a photograph of the Christmas pud!!! :-) x
Glad you had such a great day, even the cat in on the action! Our Minnie has just got used to the tree and isn't attacking the baubles anymore! I'm not sure she would do tinsel, not just yet anyway, may be in a few years! :) x
There's a bright light on the horizon when feeling sad about the fact that Christmas is over - it is less than a year to the next one! I love Christmas but there are lots of other holidays to celebrate. We had Yule, then Christmas, then there's New Year to come, followed by Plough Sunday - all within the couple of weeks that children are off school. There's also snuggling up with eidies and quilts by a roaring fire to enjoy over the next two or three months. Beautiful, beautiful winter!
Lovely, all of you! My only acquaintance with puddings, sadly, is from novels and movies. I would love to know more about it (and those delicious Christmas cakes you posted about earlier) if you have time sometime. Happy New Year!
What fun!!! I am loving your memories and that red polka dot dress of yours. xoxo ...now we are on the road to 2013...sending you many blessings for some exciting new beginnings.
Just wonderful photos!!! I have a question, can you tell me where you got the table covering that you show in the last photo? Just really love that one! I live in the States so it is probably never going to see me, but I thought I would give it a try! Happy New Year...I came over from Imagimeri's... Sandy @ 521 Lake Street
Ahhh, lovely Christmassy images Helen, all that preparation and it does go by so quickly!Love your pretty dress and your kitchen looks fabulous! Have a happy New Year! Rachel x
Hi Hen, Your Christmas looks lovely, so inviting. Wishing you and the rest of the Hen House family a happy and healthy 2013. I may even dip my toes back into blogland in 2013 if my new baby girl allows me a few minutes here and there!! Jane..
Love your blog! I have put you on my blog today as one people should visit. I think you love decorating at Christmas as much as I do! My blog is very new but really enjoying it. Stop by if you have time. http://creatingandbaking.blogspot.co.uk/ Regards, Louise.

Hello and thank you for visiting the HenHouse. I'm a stay-at-home thirty-something mum looking after Mr HenHouse and the Munchkin, aged 11 (going on 15). We have three fabulous cats who we adore and spoil rotten: Charlie Boy, Vorey Puss and Jacky Ginge. We split our time between our Victorian home in London and our weekend bolthole in the West Country which is a dinky 16th Century thatched cottage. I have always loved vintage, particularly the pink and flowery. I have collections of eiderdowns, china and fabrics to name just a few. I love sewing and am an avid patchworker and quilter. As a family, we are dotty about the past and love the 1940s, often dressing up for re-enactment events. To fund my fabric habit, I have the occasional stall at craft fairs and sell handmade items over the 'net, too. Our homes have been featured in magazines and I'm pretty nutty about interiors.

ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
ReplyDeleteHen, your sampling of Christmas photos really do show a very happy family day.
ReplyDeleteI think that you all will have many memories for years and years.
And now...it might just be the time to wish you all a very Happy New Year!

Happy New Year. Love the picture of your kitty. Looks quite dapper in his necktie.

Heel veel GELUK in 2013 from The Netherlands!!
ReplyDelete:o)
Your home looks so festive and happy!
ReplyDeleteYour cat looks splendid in tinsel, and your husband looks wonderful in his Christmas sweater (very Bridget Jones' Diary)!
Someday I want to make a real Christmas pudding, but I compromised this year and make a gingerbread cake, which was delicious!
Happy New Year to your family from the frozen northland!
Looks like a lovely Christmas Hen - hope 2013 is just as good for you!
