Merry Christmas from our Home to Your's

  I'm  joining the   party  at   Rooted in Thyme   to share  about   our Christmas..

 On the night before Christmas all was a lit

and  all was   merry  as   Lynn  chanced to sit

   at the table,  bright

finishing the gifts for

one and all!

The morning of Christmas dawned  dark  but cheer

as  I hurried downstairs to   set about  my chores..

I could barely wait until I heard  feet  coming down the

stairs

 Our Christmas brunch  menu  was a waiting   the cooks....

Amanda,    our cranberry scone baker ,  hadnt arisen from her sleep...

 So I hurriedly  worked on the brandied fruit  so the flavors would have time to steep.

 It was  grand  when at last  the children  were up

 Time to  get the quiche in the pan

set the table  with    English Crackers and punch

 A festive morning in store for our wonderful  bunch!!!

 The English crackers revealed crowns for each one

 My crown was gold, lovely to behold..

 Queen Mother  wore her's the whole day long,

while dad donned his Santa''s cap  to  entertain our throng!

 Princess Amanda  played a set of carols as  we sang in our hearts the  tunes of the season

Prince Joshua  reclined in his repose, an article in hand  as his reason.. 

while  gifts awaited to be opened...  

 but that is  personal   let's just say  with  delight,, 

 everyone  was  very  happy that night!!!
