Books and chocs and boxes of frothy coffee, a stick blender and new jam spoon, Christmas coasters, a book mark and produce bags and a tea towel from Penny Pincher friends and those lovely wooden mushrooms and soap from my penfriend on a windy Scottish island.
Off to Sister in law's house with the Christmas pud for a lovely day with too much good food! More presents of books and chocs and lots of laughter.
Home late on a very cold and icy night.
I hope your day had food and laughter too and safe journeys home.
Back Tomorrow
Sue
Such lovely gifts and those mushrooms are splendid.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had such a good time. Happy Boxing Day.

My penfriend looks at my blog, saw the ones I had on my Autumn mantel shelf, found these and thought of me - they are beautiful.
DeleteSounds like a great day with family with lots of memories and gifts to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYes - a good day with family. Thank you
DeleteSome lovely well thought out gifts. They know you so well, lol. Glad you had an enjoyable day
ReplyDeleteMy Amazon wish list has shrunk considerably!
DeleteI had some great gifts too, including the bread making gizmo I had hoped for. Will try that out today I think! I see you (like me) had a few books too . . .
ReplyDeleteSo many books - I won't have time for anything else!
DeleteHi Sue, good to hear of your nice Christmas Day, with all those lovely gifts, like you I too got a nice collection of presents, one of the nicest being a box of sandalwood soap which OH sent to India for, think he got me enough to last till next Christmas but I’m not complaining! I’m expecting to youngest son and Little Miss in a bit, he found yesterday a bit of a struggle but we are all trying to get through this first Christmas together.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, it will get a little easier (dog lover)

Getting through is the only thing to do, I was worried about this year but it's been OK. Best wishes for you and your son and the family
DeleteYourv day sounds like me it was lovely 7 of us, my GS is picking me up this morning to go back to my daughters, lots of chatting and puzzles.
ReplyDeleteHave your day nice again Sue..

My Sister in Law had found a strange Christmas quiz game and even though she read the rules several times I'm still not sure how to play it!
DeleteYes, definitely lots of lovely and useful things there. I love the mushrooms and soap. And produce bags are a brilliant gift, handy for using in the washing machine too to put your delicates in.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit wary of scented soaps but this is Calendula and nettle and smells lovely.
DeleteAt my age I don't have many delicates!!
Haha ... me neither. But they stop the wires from my underwired bras getting out and into the washing machine.
DeleteI'm so glad that you had a happy day Sue....and some lovely presents too.
ReplyDeleteHugs-x-
Thank you it was a good day.
DeleteLovely gifts and a very lovely day. I am happy that you enjoyed yourself.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
What a nice variety of beautiful gifts! I'm so glad you had a nice day and have another special one today! I love your new header.
ReplyDeleteWonderful that you had a happy Christmas Day, Sue. The gifts you received are lovely. I always give and receive scented soaps at Christmas time; it's a little tradition with one of my closest friends that no matter what else we give one another, there'll always be soap as both of us love it.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely Christmas Sue. No travelling for us, but definitely lots of food and laughter. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely. A happy day. X
ReplyDeleteSome practical gifts, a few indulgences and lots of the essentials...books! Couldn't be better!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely lot of gifts!
ReplyDeleteNice gifts you received! We stayed home. Opened some nice gifts. I got a crocheted shawl from a blogger friend from Isle of Lewis. It is so cozy I want to wear it alot! I think I need a pin to hold it shut. Will see what I can find! Have a blessed new year!
ReplyDeleteI'm very late in visiting, Sue, as I've been off-blog for about a week. But I send many happy wishes for the new year. I can tell your Christmas was already very merry!
