The theme from Tara for The Gallery this week is: Feeling Festive.
Despite it being only two weeks to Christmas, I have to admit I don’t feel particularly festive yet. We’ve been busy and we haven’t decorated the tree or the house. I still have far too much to do: presents to buy, presents to wrap, cards to write, parcels to post.
I don’t feel very organised!
But, we have had snow. We have met Santa. Our Elf has returned. We’ve been to Christmas events. We’ve done Christmas crafts. The kids are excited!
Now, I just really need to decorate the tree!

Thank you :)
Love that photograph of them all with Father Christmas, just wonderful. Well done with organising everything – the tree will be fabulous when it’s up too :)
Thanks Charly x The kids have been having fun :)
What wonderful photo’s wish the snow was here but there is still time!
Thanks! We know have almost a foot of snow…!
Nothing like a bit of the white stuff to get you in the spirit! Love that top pic of the kids with Santa, so cute:-)
Thanks Lou, the snow certainly adds to the Christmassy feel :)
love the elf jumper
Thanks :)
well you might not think you are festive but looking at these photos i would say it looks like you are to me! I love your elf’s jumper – very cosy! and i especially love the photo of your children with Father Christmas :) Now come on and get your decorations up, i need to see your tree !! x x
Thanks Jenny! I think everyone else was feeling festive, I was mainly feeling stressed :) More organised now x
You look like you are festive even if you don’t feel it. It is weird, less than two weeks away now, but I don’t feel it much either. I feel it, but can’t believe it if that makes sense, this year has gone so quickly! x
I know exactly what you mean, part of me just doesn’t believe it can be Christmas already x
we have an ‘elf’ this year too! the kids are loving it!
Oh yes, the kids love our elf :)
Snowwwwwwwww :)…. dunno about you, but I only ever feel the christmad festive bug when the white stuff falls :/ but when it does arrive, I cant wait for it to go again lol
I with you on both counts!
Glad to read that I was not the only one not feeling particularly festive! ;)
Love your photos, especially the elf.
I bet you had fun decorating the tree with the children. :) xx
I’m feeling a bit more organised and a lot more festive now :)
