But just around the corner, there were Santas galore...
all shapes and sizes...
and even Santa in a glass dome...
it looks like the traditional colours of Red and Gold for Christmas are still popular...
but I'm not sure where bears with parcels...monkeys on Christmas trees...
and toy soldiers feature in the Christmas story...
and there seemed to be a big winter woodland theme to the decorations this year...
these cute figures were everywhere...
and even a reminder of my favourite Seasonal Tim Holtz/Sizzix die...
I'll be sticking with my traditional tree...
decorated with an assortment of "definitely not colour co-ordinated" ornaments collected over a lifetime, each one with a special memory...
Today I'm back in the kitchen on the last leg of the Christmas Cookathon marathon and if all goes to plan, tomorrow I'll be heading for the cubbyhole to have some fun with a very special parcel that arrived on Saturday.
Toodle-oo for now

Yes, he could definitely do with a tartan scarf at the very least! I do love when you visit there and share the wonderful photos with us, it is like a magical winter wonderland. My favourite piece is the Santa in the dome!! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteI love your annual visit looks wonderful. The monkeys are an odd addition. The soldiers are Nutcrackers and of course The Nutcracker features a huge Christmas tree. They are a German tradition and a symbol of good luck x

ReplyDeleteSuper photos Kath.
ReplyDeleteWe have a fabulous garden centre near us and their Christmas displays are always amazing but this year time has run away from me and a glance at their packed car park last weekend was all that I needed to deter me from even trying to visit.
