Santa Came to 12 Craghall Dene this Friday! Except his name was John Lewis!
This Friday, as I was contemplating making a trip into the ‘Toon’ (city centre) to buy Christmas food (crackers, cheese, chocolate, cakes ect.) a kind British man stood on our door stoop holding a box full of just that!!
Naner and Diddo (Nancy and Dad) were so kind to supply us this year, while we are far away from the Christmas cheer, with the Christmas essential goodies!
Having all the fun goodies here have made it feel much more Christmasy! Plus I was sooo excited that I didn’t have to trek out into the cold weather and buy a £2.10 metro ticket.

We are truly missing Canada at this time of the year, but are also looking forward to our visitors who are coming this New Years Eve. Our friends Steve (Stumpy) and his girlfriend Kristina are flying into Heathrow International airport London, on December 31st! And we are sooo excited to welcome 2012 with some fellow Canadians. I am thinking our time in London, during NYE will be quite the experience! I am planning on freezing my fanny off, as it has been pretty cold here lately!
While they are here, we are also visiting Amsterdam and Scotland! Should be a great time and I will definitely blog about all our adventures!
Richard, our British potted Christmas Tree, is doing well! He now has an extension cord and lights :)
