From The Pumpkin Patch

Merry Christmas!

I wanted to write a quick post to wish you all a happy festive season. I hope you were able to spend time with family, friends or pets yesterday and feel all the Christmas cheer.

I have to admit, I also wanted an excuse to show off my beautiful Christmas dining table – doesn’t it look wonderful? The flowers were a gift from my parents, and they made the perfect centrepiece.

We hosted Christmas this year in our new house, and it was so cosy and cheerful. After opening all the presents we sat down to a delicious turkey dinner, then gathered around the piano while my husband played for us.

What could be better?

Today I’ll be deep-cleaning my kitchen, eating leftovers and snacking on far too much chocolate. Honestly, I almost prefer Boxing Day over Christmas – it’s more relaxed, and I don’t have to worry about cooking a huge meal.

This is also the perfect opportunity to say thank you to everyone who reads my little blog – it amazes me that I still have regular readers after all these years, despite making absolutely no effort to promote my posts.

While I write this blog primarily for my own enjoyment, it’s always fun to see people from all over the world reading my posts. I appreciate you all!

I’ll be back before the end of the year with my list of all the books I read in 2023 – did I manage to reach my goal of 15 books?

Have a wonderful day, and I’ll see you soon!
