11: christmas (w)rapping

It feels, because of the snow, like we have already had Christmas - infact a brown drab Christmas may be a bit of a disappointment by comparison.

I'm wondering at what point Christmas kicks in - you know when you get your first real moment, when you feel it light up inside you..  I haven't had mine yet, but looking forward to it.  Sometimes it's just a song like this one.. (which is one of my favourites).

But I also get a kick out of looking at festive ornaments, styling in magazines - and other people's handmades..  This picture comes from a short run of posts I did a couple of years ago about alternative/recycled  gift wrapping - and additionally it made me think of Mouse who has done the lovely musical garlands.  That year I did some gift tags from old sheet music.

Mouse's christmas shop closes this weekend - I must emphasise how well made her work is, and very generously she is not charging any post and package anywhere in the world!

happy shopping and wrapping!

I don't feel it has kicked in yet... it usually happens when the tree goes up (next weekend)
