The children (Miss D and her boyfriend, 20 and 21, respectively) will still be asleep, and so it is true to say that my work desk isn't a desk this Christmas morning. I am to be found, in my freshly laundered dressing gown flitting about between lounge and dining, clearing up after Christmas Eve jollity and preparing for some present opening. Mr Dunnit will be beavering in the kitchen..we are both good at starting the day early, but separately! Having to walk past this beauty every time I move from room to room is making me happy. I may well be humming. Having my lovelies at home for a Christmas at home (we are rarely at home on this day) is such a big treat. And so I think it's OK to show our tree as my workspace this week.
Whatever this time of year means for you, whether you choose to surround yourself with people or play a solo game today, I hope you have a great day. If it's Christmas for you, I wish you the happiest Christmas.
Now, if you'd like to join the gentle Christmas party and tell us what you're doing today, I know some of us will be able and delighted to visit for a chat.
Hi Julia! Your tree is lovely and I am so glad you have your family home today!! It's 1am here in the New England and we're heading for bed! Have a blessed and Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Julia! Thanks for posting WOYWW on this special day! Have a wonderful day with the family. Warm holiday hugs Nan #3
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful live tree. It really looks like Christmas at your house.
ReplyDeleteMy guests were supposed to be here yesterday, but because some roads and streets are still icy, they decided to wait. So they should be here in time for breakfast.
Have an exceptional Christmas, dear friend. I am SO glad I met you in this world wide blogging community! I think you get around more places than Santa! Looks like I'm # 1.
Merry Christmas to you, dear Julia!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to you and yours Julia. Hoping to feature more next year, now Mum is out of hospital etc. Francesca #18
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, your tree is lovely and your plans for the day sound just perfect. Ours will be a quiet day, just the two of us and cat, of course, chilling out, amusing ourselves watching TV, Christmas DVDs and, if we feel like it, burying ourselves in our chosen book for Christmas ... just a perfect day. Happy Christmas to you all, may your day be just perfect too. Hugs, Elizabeth x #13
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas WOYWW Julia and family!
ReplyDeleteI see the flags on your pretty tree!

I've had commenting issues on here today so this is my 4th attempt to leave a comment! Fingers crossed it works! Merry Christmas Julia - hope you all have a fab day xx
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Julia! I hope that your day is full of happy time with your family!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

And a chilly good morning to you (the morning is chilly, not my greetings which are warm and heartfelt). That's a very pretty tree you have there. We don't do trees but can you imagine the fun the cats would have if we did? The thing would never be upright. Have a lovely and peaceful day with your family. We'll be going out with the mum in law for Dim Sum later today.
ReplyDeleteThe stockings were hung by the Chimney with care....and Santa was already there....however, my group is still sound asleep. So, Baxter and I wait for everyone to wake up! I'm taking a few to wish you a most MERRY CHRISTMAS and am sending you thanks for being my Wednesday girl! Because of you, I've met some very sweet people! Until next Wednesday! Love to all. And wishes for Happy Holidays to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to you!! :) I'm spending my honeymoon in England with my English hubby and LOVING it. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful day Family Dunnit members all.
ReplyDeleteWe have arrived home after a super meal at our local eatery, silly jumpers, crackers, hats and all. Now to catch up with the Queen, Midwives and Downton!!
See you Next Year
love

Wow your tree is beautiful. Merry Christmas, hope you have had a lovely day with your family. Hugs Kezzy :-) xxxxx
ReplyDeleteHaha, I felt the same about windows, low on my list of priorities but himself was cleaning the windows - I was just doing the bits he missed which I thought looked worse for him cleaning the windows in the first place!
ReplyDeleteYes the weather was so murky poor MIL couldn't be fetched for her dinner due to being in Bradford on Avon pretty much cut off by the floods without a very long detour!

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas,. I love your tree. Sorry I'm a day late, hope that's ok.
ReplyDeleteThanks Julia for sharing your lovely tree. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Post is a little late but technology !!

ReplyDeleteNow that I am home (ceiling intact, thank goodness!) I can leave a proper comment and look at some festive desks - the phone and my brother's wifi was great but boy, is the screen tiny, lol!! Thank you for a year of WOYWW fun (not to mention all the other posts in between) - wishing you and the Dunnits a happy (what's left of it) Christmas and a healthy and wealthy new year! Helen 6 xxx
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays! Just a little slow to get around this year. I had linked earlier but guess it didn't work. I love the tree and glad to hear the family is all together for the holidays! Looking forward to WOYWW in the New Year! Vickie #39
ReplyDeleteSo glad you posted as I thought there could be some lonely crafters out there who would be glad of internet chat with others. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteSorry I am so late - always catching up these days - so an early Wish for you and yours to have a Wonderful New Year and a Brilliant 2014.
Hugs, Neet
Hello, Julia, I just realized I didn't leave a message. Happy WOYWW! Dropping by to greet you a joyful Christmas season! May the blessings of this season be yours throughout the coming new year!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm late but I had to share my Christmas table from Wednesday as I was so pleased with the way it turned out. I aim to be a more regular contributor on 2014. Thanks for sharing. Happy Christmas
