day thirteen.......

when I was growing up I seem to remember that

Christmas was a time when there was lots

of fun stuff on the telly and lots of sweets

on a little table in the lounge room.....

 it was the one time of year when we were allowed

to indulge in sweeties whenever we wanted to......

{at least that's what it seemed like,

I don't know if I have remembered that with 

rose coloured glasses on though.....}

we don't have a telly these days

{however, we do make full use of the catch-up

facilities that the TV channels offer so we can still get

a good dose of 'what's on' if we want to}.....

but we do have a Christmas 'munchies' table

with tins of sweets, jars of homemade biscuits and

a {rather empty looking} jar of pistachio nuts

{a universal favourite in our house, hence it's 

constant empty-ness.....}

definitely need to go out and buy

some more of those yummy pistachios.....
