December is here and the festivities begin. I love December 1st when it's time for advent.
Every year I buy our grown up children an advent calendar and previous years I have given them a tealight calendar for their homes. This year I bought everyone chocolate calendars and an advent candle to burn each day.
Previously I have bought Hubby beers and chocolates and wrapped them individually to make a homemade personal advent. As we get older we're being a little more health conscious so I bought him a super Lindt calendar and just two beers, one for his birthday and the other for a Christmas Eve.
Hubby bought me a super Boots No.7 Beauty calender. The items inside last me ages and are the perfect size for holidays, it's a great way to add to my beauty box.
Our calendars sit under the tv ready for us to open a new window every day leading us closer to Christmas Day.
It was Needlecraft Haven Christmas Ornament Exchange opening day yesterday and I received a lovely gift and gifts but although my partner has received hers I don't think she's opened it yet so I'll post again soon.
My monthly stitching has been changed, this is my new December one that I'm not sure if I've shared. I like the series but it does niggle that there's no capital letters, something I didn't notice until I'd done them all.

Enjoy December and your advent calendars. We don't bother with them anymore, in the past I've had yarn ones but haven't even had one of those for the last few years.
How lovely , I wish my hubby would buy me one .
I don't think he knows what they are ha.
Have fun , nice stitching hugs June.
