To think this will be the year of no stray Christmas decorations?!

I'm sure I've got them all this year, in their boxes, all present and correct. So I won't be finding baby Jesus from the crib hanging out in the dolls house this year...

at baby Jesus in the dolls house.

It is hard to make sure you have got everything isn't it? I once didn't notice a stray decoration for months, but by then it was roughly equi-distant between Christmasses so I decided to let it stay where it was for the next one.

I did the same with some baubles hanging from a picture. The dcs actually told me off when I remembered to take them down this year. They were shocked as they thought they were a permanent feature.

Ha! By bedtime I'd found Joseph under the sofa, Christmas tea towels in tumble drier and a whole extra (small-but still ) Christmas tree in dd's room! Ah well!
