Packing up Christmas

We arrived home on Wednesday evening, and since Thursday I've been slowly packing away all our Christmassy bits and pieces.

I have quite a few new things this years, thanks to the post-Chrismas sales we were in Denmark for last year! I was especially keen to pick up a few 'nisse' ornaments, since they are hard to come by here - these are two of my new favourites...



As you can see nisser are helpful guys, doing little jobs around the house like peeling potatoes, and are often pictured hanging out with piggies (which are also a symbol of Christmas in Denmark). In any case they are jolly little fellows, and I think I'll have to find an online source so I can pick out a new one each year!

Speaking of Christmassy loveliness, I just wanted to say a huge thanks to Car for hosting the advent blog-a-long, and to everyone else who took part - it was really lovely to see what everyone gets up to in preparation for Christmas, and I just love hearing about other people's traditions, so thank you all for sharing!

And thanks to all of you for stopping by my blog during the year!
See you in the new year!
