Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to one and all

Only two sleeps left till Christmas now! It's getting exciting!
Todays Christmas Advent blog will be in honour of the weather we've had over the last few days. Hopefully you might find it useful.

3 days and counting

Well there's only three days left day and I finaly finished all my Christmas shopping, (I say finished, I only started it today as well).
I really hope you've all enjoyed my little Christmas Advent calender and have found it funny/useful/informative or all of the above. I'm going to try and hit all three for you now with todays Advent treat.

Just 4 days now

I met up with an old friend today for a few Christmas drinks and it was whilst swapping stories about our kids and the cute things they do he told me this little gem, which I'm about to share with you.
It's important to remember during this story that my friend is the owner of a B&B up north, (he was down visiting family).

Just 5 days left....

I cannot believe how much snow we have had over the last few days; I'm just glad I'd already booked the time off work so that I can enjoy it all with my family rather than having to struggle through it into work.
I'd been trying to think of something a bit light-hearted to cheer everyone up still struggling to work everyday when my wife sent me a text saying wouldn't it of been funny if the three wise men had been wise women?
They would have asked for directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable for Mary, made her some nourishing soup for later and bought the baby Jesus practical gifts.
You can find my response to her below.

6 days and counting

Bit of a puzzle for you all today. Below you will find a very famous Christmas poem that has been translated into 'legalese'.
Can you work out what the original poem was meant to be though?
Good luck

7 days left....

That's it then. There is exactly one week to go before the big now. I hope you've all been enjoying this advent calender as there's only a few days left now.

Only 8 days now....

I'm going to deviate from the normal advent treat a little today and instead let you all know what I've been up to this morning.

To start with, I'm really tired as it involved a 6:30 start and then I spent the rest of the morning trying to keep up with an over excited two year old, no easy task as I'm sure any parent can tell you. So where have I been? You'll have to read on for that info.

Only 9 days now!

Well its finally here, our Christmas countdown has finally reached single figures; there’s only 9 shopping days left till Christmas! Let's hope you're all ready, you don't want to be out shopping on Christmas eve like I always am.

Merry Christmas all. I've been writing this series of Advent blogs for a while now but it's been pointed out to me that it hasn't been very traditional, (not always a bad thing). But in keeping with the season I thought to myself;
"What would a traditional advent calender look like?"
And the answer came back to me - Pictures!
Not wanting to bore you with ordinary pictures of sleighs and snowmen and presents todays blog will be......

Merry Christmas again. Are you all getting excited? Only 23 days to go now! We put our decorations up yesterday and Harry, (my little boy), was so excited he couldn't do anything except spin round in circles, shouting "I'm excited" - don't ask me why, I'm not two. Still, I do vaguely remember getting that excited over Christmas, so in honour of that remembered feeling I've planned something extra special for you today and as far as I'm aware it's never been tried on a blog before.
