Its almost Christmas!!

Well here we are in December, the year has passed and I have done so much. I have learnt so much and tried so many things.

Who would have thought that I would be writing blogs every week, but here I am. Lots of ups and downs throughout the year, but I am excited for the party season (if we are allowed!!) and getting ready for Christmas.

Everywhere I look there is already Christmas trees and lights in peoples houses, but I have not got that far yet! Hope to very soon though, looking forward to it. I do enjoy looking at everyone else’s crazy light shows, so much fun, but I am happy to keep it a bit more sedate at my home!

I have started making my Christmas cards, so a print making production on the go, which is great fun and I highly recommend making your own cards. It allows you to be creative, but also makes you think about the people that you love, whilst making them. It does take some time, but if you just do a little bit each night, its amazing what you can make and create. This is not my card below, as I cannot show them yet!

I have also been thinking about what food to make and in particular what desserts to make to take to dinner parties! I get the joy of visiting others, who are cooking for me, which is fantastic.

For me, its going to be a vegan nut roast for Christmas dinner, with a Christmas pudding, because I love Christmas pudding…..

But first it is time to be making vegetarian mince pies and ginger bread men!! So watch out for the recipes soon. I am hoping to make them in the next week. Homemade pastry and homemade biscuits, what more could you want.

I will be making a few delicious desserts too, so I will post them, once they have been eaten and I have decided they are a success!!

I am thinking chocolate log, winter berry sponge, maybe a sticky ginger cake. What do you think? What kind of things do you have for christmas and what are your christmas ideas?
