It's getting closer .... and closer
A Christmas 'Welcome' mat
The traditional Greek kaïki is lit up at night. It's on a timer, thanks to traditional husband who knows all about electrics
Here he is lighting up our second boat
We decorate a Xmas tree and these boats
And here it is lighting up our window
First mince pies just out of the oven
Knitting a hat for an exotiko (elf)

Love those boats.
ReplyDelete.Our first step to Christmas is when my little Elfie arrives. He's late this year due to all the strikes.
Love your Elfie. He's got a few cousins here but they're still in hibernation
DeleteAlways interesting seeing your customs over there.
ReplyDeleteIt used to be New Year was a bigger celebration but Xmas has taken over
DeleteI like the Christmas Welcome Mat.
ReplyDeletePresent from a friend a few years ago . It's nice and cheery
DeleteWe have one tree in the lounge room. Still in its box. That’s a step closer right?
ReplyDeleteJust don’t have the energy this year. Your little boats look lovely
You're late this year methinks. All that darn rain has dampened your spirit 😁
DeleteWhat a wonderful tradition those little boats all lit up. Mince pies *drool*.
ReplyDeleteLove the Christmas welcome mat at your door.

I haven't had a mince pie yet but the other tasters gave them a thumbs up. I'm trying to be good till Xmas day. Wonder if that's possible
DeleteChristmas is coming, the boats look beautiful all lit up.
ReplyDeleteEven the council is putting up lights now. Very early for them. It's going to be a big celebration this year
DeleteI like your Christmas mat. It would make any visitor smile :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks very welcoming. My English friend always spies out good presents
DeleteI’m hoping the hat looks much larger than it is or…that’s a bloody big elf’s head.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, I’m lagging behind in the decorating stakes. Someone has ‘the dreaded lurgy ’ and life if revolving around him at the moment. He was pretty crook and had me wondering about calling paramedics in. Thankfully much better today - maybe I’ll think about sparkly things next week.
Sorry to hear you have a patient in the house. Hope he gets well quickly. I can understand why sparkly things are the last item on your list just now
DeletePs the elf hat hangs way down the back so there's lots of 'long and thin'. Or there will be when I finish it . It's folded in half so it's a bit wider than it looks
DeleteMy wife bought a small Christmas tree 'Santa' yesterday, which is now hanging from the Grandfather clock key. Far too early.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could get a smaller tree, maybe not as small as that though. I used to think the week before Christmas was early enough but even here preparations are already underway. Looks like this 'post-lurgy', hopefully 'post', yuletide is going to be big
DeleteCareless reading! Xmas tree SANTA not a Xmas tree. We have a wee Santa which sings some darn carol when you push it's button. Boy does that annoy after 2 minutes
DeleteEvery year I envy the people of Blogland for their preparations for Christmas. It's such a beautiful holiday.
