Advent Adventurous

I think we’ve actually finished all our Christmas preparations! Admittedly we’ve gone low-key this year so there hasn’t been that much to purchase and plan, but it still feels good to know that everything that needs doing is pretty much done, when there’s still 10 days to play with!
House is decorated, tree is lovely, presents are wrapped, cards have been posted, Christmas food is ordered, meals are planned, freezer is stocked already. There really seems little else to think about. So I may as well indulge in a little festive haiku:

Rum-infused mince pies
Dollop of brandy butter
A bit much, perhaps?

Steamed Christmas pudding
Traditional turkey lunch
But sprouts or no sprouts?

In January
Will I be glad it’s all gone?
Or sad it’s over?

From mid-November
Christmas is rammed down your throats 
Aren’t you sick of it?

If I was an elf
I’d stow away on the sleigh
And go with Santa
