Marks & Spencer has a series of Christmas adverts with the title “Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without…”  In a photo essay, here is my attempt:

  1. Oh I will have to think about this one and may have to do my own post too!

  2. You’re such a speedy reader Mrs! Let me know if you do a post ;)

    Lets see… Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without the sister getting all moody and pissed off with the entire family before the end of Christmas day. It’s pretty much a tradition.

  4. ooh, I like this post! I’ve got lots of things which mean Christmas to me, nativity plays, real trees, paper chains, lots and lots of fairy lights, carol services, leaving out sherry and mince pie for father Christmas, Christmas films and tv specials, department store windows, visiting the tree in trafalgar sq. I did a post too, which I’ve rather cheekily attached!

  5. Why is there always drama with every family holiday?? I’m hoping there’s none with us but that remains to be seen. I’ll keep you posted! ;)

  6. You aren’t cheeky at all Mrs! ;) I’ll go have a nosey at yours now. You just reminded me about paper chains!!! We used to do those every Christmas in elementary school. I might just have to make some now. Thanks for the reminder! ;)

  7. Such a lovely post! Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without Family & Christmas songs for me! I would say some kind of drama like my Mother not cooking the Turkey for long enough or my Father setting his Christmas cracker hat on fire as he leans over the candle!
    Looking forward to my first Christmas with my Baby Boy! :)

  8. That first Christmas is pretty special. I’m looking forward to Little Miss’ second Christmas though, as she’s a lot more aware and will be great fun! Presents need a bit more thought now though as the paper or box is not the only necessity to entertain her! ;)

  9. Aaw this is so lovely, It has made me all excited!!!!!!!!

    Little Miss looks so happy too, what a cutie pie! :)

    aaa excitement!

  10. Thanks Mrs…and you’ll have a fab first Christmas with your adorable girl as well. I’ve got to make some paper chains…I’ve been inspired by Victoria! ;)

    I was going to say snowballs made from advocaat, with a cherry on top, a real old lady drink but I have it every crimbo and it tastes like cake.
    But then I remembered that this is the first year I have every been pregnant and so I won’t get one.
    The edges of my mouth are pointed DOWN!

  12. Awww…boo. I could try to make one and have it for you?! Gimme the recipe! I like cake as is evident by my shape or lack thereof! ;)
