- Yay! Thank you! So, my choices would be 1) night lily makeup kit, 2) wreathed bun buddy or 3) Lovely Moon charm.

Oh, absolutely - my mum still stands by the tradition of 'buy it and wrap immediately' to avoid my niece (aged 5) or any nosy teens/adults (yeah, that happens too!) trying to spoil the mystery.

Much more fun to have a surprise.

Oh, they do look very good! I am a big fan of cheese and potatoes. Plus we usually have a cheeseboard over Xmas and there is always some cheese leftover... plotting food ideas

Congrats, and thanks for joining in! Prize on the way.

it's getting harder to buy things for the older ones - I tend to go with them to be sure we get them what they really want....

This year it was easy... 2 cars XXD since the two oldest will be able to drive in 2017

luckily I have a good friend, who owns a large carpark and "donated" the two cars (we payed a very, very cheap price) - since I would not be able to spend so much

but they will both still get a little suprise!

Cheese and potatoes are always good :D My daughter is a cheese fanatic so I never have any leftover cheese lol.

Oh, that's very generous! Nice to get a cheaper priced gift too, that is lucky.

Yeah it's tougher with older kids - the usual request is 'money'. But we are making a treasure hunt for the envelopes with it in!

I can relate, I am pretty cheese-crazy. But the amount we tend to buy, even I would struggle to manage it in one go. xD

We had Emmental Cheese this weekend. Thought a bit of bread and cheese would be a lighter kind of food after the party. Ate too much there!

Oh wow thank you! Glad you liked it!

My top 3 items: Essence of melody The moon book SBQ invite

I sort of force my kids, to sng before they can have their presents XD all standing by the tree, singing... Does not sound good - still...

Prize on the way! Thanks for being part of it.
:)

Aw, that is nice to have some traditions like that. The singing should be heart-felt if nothing else!
;)

We always make sure everyone wears the paper hats from inside Xmas crackers whilst eating the dinner, that is a requirement.

that sounds fun! I want to wear one special BG so badly...

sigh I will have to wait after christmas Otherwise I will spoil to much XD

The hats are always funny, to small for some people (ripped paper) to big for others (like a hat-necklace!). Lots of laughing.

Oh, there is no point in spoiling things! :)

Next weekend we are having a family cocktail evening - my niece is so happy to be included - she gets no-alcohol 'mocktails'. Should be fun.

We have never tried that before. Emily would probably love it!

It's a very jolly cheese! My other half recommends it with thick ham slices if you want a meaty accompaniment. I just go with crusty bread and butter. Yum.

Aw, all these lovely Xmas HAs (cuddly reindeer is so cute!), I need to get to the wardrobe and find myself something wintery.

Sounds really good :)

I love dressing for the holiday! I already have my Star Wars Santa hat and my blinking Christms bulbs necklace :D

That was fun! My choices are: Wreathed Bun Bunny, Lovely Moon Charm, and Autumn Spice Potpourri

I tend to go more for Xmas jewellery rather than clothes, stuff like THIS and glittery snowflake pendants and earrings too.

Can't believe it's December this week. Time is getting short!

Glad you enjoyed it! :) Prize is on the way.

Those are really pretty! I ❤ all of them :D

They do have some nice things. It is really the time of year for some glitter and glitz, so we should indulge. c:

Have to fit in Xmas decorating as my next job to do.

I agree :D

I started a little bit of decorating. I put out my little snowman, and my victorian style lamppost. I also put up some clings on the windows. I need to drag the boxes out of the closet, but I wasn't that motivated today lol.

My choice is. Lovely moon charm. I'd do the three choices but it's hard to copy and paste on my phone and I think I'm the last to pick anyway haha

Thanks for the contest again! I look forward to the next one

Congrats on teh contest sharkies~

the photo led me to google fluffy norwegian potatoes and polish perogies

meant to ask about those falafels* xD
