The late nights have paid off and I have finally finished all my pre-Christmas sewing!
At least I say "all" but only because I decided not to do half of it!
I had a moment of clarity the other day when I was feeling guilty about all the Christmas craft activities I had planned and failed to do with the little Lockets.
What I realised was this: when I was a child we always had a much longer holiday from school before Christmas actually arrived so there was time to do lovely things, whereas the little Lockets only break up a few days before Christmas so there just isn't the time to do everything.
I know I always set my expectations way too high each year but if I really want to do better next year I reckon I'll have to start preparing in February at least!
But I'm sure we will all have a really lovely Christmas with or without the homemade extras!
And I hope you do too!
Lots of love to you all, Lucy xxxxx

Happy Holidays to all the Lockets!
Happy Christmas, Lucy! I think half the skill is knowing when to say enough is enough - I had to severely curtail when I realised it was either a pile of gorgeous homemade gifts and a worn out, sleep deprived mummy; or a few presents and a gorgeously festive mama (well, I can dream, can't I?)
We've binned the carol service tonight too - they're too tired and there's always next year ...
Happy Christmas Lucy - it's the cosy togetherness that matters most. Enjoy yours!
Happy Christmas Lucy, hope you have a lovely time filled with happiness and laughter. Jane x

You can only do what you can do..if you know what I mean. I'm sure the LLs enjoyed all the Christmas preps and hope you did too.

I'm so glad you got it all done Lucy! I don't know where the days before Christmas went -- I had everything so well planned and the poof! I hope you and all the Lockets had a wonderful Christmas!!!
Oh, I'm sure there are always hand-made extras at yours Lucy - I'll bet you found a way to squeeze some in!
Hope you and all the other Lockets had a fab Christmas, with or without extras!
:) .... no wait .... :( (I'm back to work today)
I reckon you'd already done stacks and possible too much when you decided to stop - don't give yourself such a hard time! Hope you had a wonderful week. We're only just starting to creep out of the world of virus and fevers. Ugh.

I know exactly what you mean about when we were children. The holidays seemed to go on for ages before AND after Christmas. I hope all the lovely Lockets had a great Christmas and Happy New Year.
