My Christmas in pictures

I have always been told that a pictures says more than a thousand words, and during Christmas I have really understood the meaning of that expression. We've had the most amazing weather this Christmas; snow, freezing cold and sunshine, which has only added to the growing Christmas-spirit.
So here you are; my Christmas through pictures

Our dinnertable, ready for Christmas



My nephews waiting for the dinner to start

Look, a shovel!

Morning, Christmas Day

Mums amazing sweet malt loaf with raisins and candied lemon peel

The only thing on the breakfast-table Christmas Day that are looking at you
 My family always have an ENORMOUS breakfast on Christmas Day that can last for up to 6 hours

For the tea-addicts

The Head-less angel; no Christmas without it

Our Christmas Tree

Perfect Christmas gift from my brother and his girlfriend :D

Christmas also means feeding the birds, and spying on them.
 The smallest birds ( like the Blue Tit above) are eating like maniacs all the day through, because when it gets dark they don't dare to do it.

Postcard-winter, don't you agree?

Icicles are indeed a masterpiece from Mother Nature's side
