Joy of Wintery Nights - Share the Joy Linky

Thank you everyone that linked up last week in the Share the Joy post here at Ladybug Home. Loved reading the festive posts and several clever handmade gift items. I was thinking of titling this blog post, "Joy of Mince Pies" because it my children's favourite treat this past week. I really love wintery nights and being cosy at home with warm cup of tea or some hot chocolate. It has been so cold lately in England and definitely winter has come. My daughter has asked for snow for Christmas and that certainly could be a possibility based on how cold it has been the last couple weeks.

We have been walking around the toy shops and creating a list in my head or by taking photos on my phone of toys or items that my children seem to show interest in. Santa is still not sure what he is bring my children this year. Since both my children were born within a month of Christmas, there is plenty of gifts to be purchased in the near future. I keep sneaking items into the closest under the stairs and luckily my daughter has not peaked in there yet.

We have some interesting new adventures plan for the next couple weeks as we prepare for Christmas. We started the Christmas season with the tree lighting in town with fireworks this past weekend. Big Sister watched the fireworks with my husband in the cold while Little Brother and I watched them from the front window of our home. He does not like the loud noise but enjoys the different colours of the fireworks. I am sharing my favourite Christmas ideas over on Christmas Magic Facebook page now and on Ladybug Home Facebook page starting in the beginning of December.  

Are you getting excited for Christmas? What is your favourite festive drink?
