Got our first Christmas card today!!

Beat you

Got one yesterday - okay, it was from England, but it only takes a couple of days

Cor - that's a bit early!


Sent from Santas grotto

It is early!!! I'm not putting a blessed string up yet though, or blu-tacking it to a door (what we usually do with the cards) as it will look a bit Billy-no-mates until we get a few more

I've written the few we send, but they won't go for a week or so yet.

In our new house - did I mention that we're moving

We have to collect the post from the bar, about a mile down the road

Can beat both of you!! Got one last week!

It was from Lepra, "The Leprosy Mission" ...... charity chugging. It's rather nice, though, so we've put it up. Fully expecting the next one to be from MacMillans ....

We'll probably start writing cards this week, and posting them out from Friday. We tend to do it in dribs and drabs, a few every day. Our 2015 list is only 32 cards, that's more or less the same as last year - I remember the days when we used to send out 60 or more ....

Only in Portugal! Do they serve a fried breakfast??

Got one yesterday of a neighbour
Don't feel xmassey yet

We get a lot fewer than we used to - I think people have cut back in recent years, I can remember we used to get over a hundred each year when I was a little girl We had a huge extended family, then add on mum and dad's friends, then my friends and my sister's friends...........!

I think we had about 30 last year, if that!

Not as far as I know Ossie, but I'll happily make you one, if you walk down there and back

But you could have madronha or brandy, with your coffee
