We’ve put up the welcome wreath on the front door just in time.
Our neighbours came round for mince pies, both wearing delightful Christmas hats.
My book from the ShelterBox book club arrived in the post yesterday so I decided to keep it for today, it being Jolabokaflod today (“Jolabokaflod, translating to “Christmas Book Flood,” is a unique and cherished tradition in Iceland, celebrated on Christmas Eve. This tradition involves giving and receiving new books, but its essence lies in the joy of reading them together.)”. We’ve been doing this for the last few years and love it. A lovely Christmas card was included in the package.
The book is The Other Americans by Laila Lalami and I’m about to get stuck into it………
Happy Christmas to all my Dear Readers and especially to my cousins in Australia!
