All ready, I think!

I finished my Christmas presents today, they're all wrapped apart from the ones to people we're not seeing till after Christmas day. I cleaned the kitchen and did a mountain of washing up and ran the dishwasher so I'm all set to cook up a storm tomorrow! I wanted to make mince pies this afternoon, but with all the cleaning I ran out of time, I did manage to bake a slab of gingerbread (the cake kind, not biscuits) and the house smelled YUMMY! So mince pies are on the ajenda for tomorrow, along with the huge ham we always have for supper on Christmas eve, with boiled potatoes and carrots, and leeks in white sauce, yum! We've had the same Christmas Eve meal for as long as I can remember! And this I made a pear crisp tart for pudding, I made it a few weeks ago, it's been in the freezer ever since, tempting me each time I open the drawer :D
We spent this evening at my best friend's pub, we had a lovely meal and then joined in the carol singing, they have it there every year, just before Christmas, it's so much fun! really gets you in the mood!
Unfortunately I'm also in the mood for 18th Century sewing, and since we had a little bit of a reshuffle I'm now sewing in the dining room, and as you may imagine, the dinning room will be in pretty constant use as a dinning room for the foreseeable future :( Oh well, with any luck my enthusiasm will last till after all the festivities :D
Only 2 more sleeps!! Yay!!
