Christmas is once again over and done with in such an unusually fast time. In-between then and January there is always the down-time, still festive, but with all the shine taken away ~ at least that's how it's always felt to me. The big day itself was lovely, pudding, turkey (free-range, local), food a-plenty, and my mother even did the washing up (isn't she an angel?!). Christmas this year has been made much nicer by listening to Sufjan Stevens' 'Songs for Christmas' at every possible moment, as well as the pure goose-down duvet that we were given as a present (so warm!). Snuggling and listening have been two of our high priorities.

We had a lovely week, but now it's back to work (for me at least) and to the beginning of a new year. But we'll forget about that (a different post for that, I feel) for now, and I'll leave you with the last remnants of Christmas chéz VintagePretty.
