It doesn't feel a bit Christmassy to me, but I've done this ............
and this ....... (My daughter made me the felted crow in the twigs)
and this ..........
and this ...........
I took these photos at 9 o'clock this morning. It was so dark and gloomy I needed the light on for some.
It's a bit brighter now and not raining for the moment, but we had a torrential shower not long ago and everywhere is once again sodden. I keep seeing wonderful pictures in magazines of seedheads, etc., sparkling with frost. Ha! No chance. We do have a cherry tree almost in full bloom, polyanthus and buttercup in flower. I have seen daisies in lawns, primroses, daffodils and all sorts of things that shouldn't be awake yet. I hope there will be some daffs for Easter and with the lack of frost I wonder if we will get any crocus or snowdrops this year. The snowdrops are usually the first to poke their leaves out of the soil but there is no sign of them yet. Magazine editors will have to restructure their contents if this weird weather continues.
Whatever the weather I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Keep safe and well.

The date of Jesus birth is April 16th and that is the correct of Christmas.
Your house looks wonderfully Christmassy. I hope you've had a really lovely day despite the unseasonal weather. xxx
Hope you had a lovely Christmas Heather. The weather may not be seasonal but your decorations certainly are.
Hope your Christmas was a happy one Heather. We had the other extreme, it was 35 deg C with burning sunshine and bushfires. Temperatures not really suited to roast turkey and Christmas pudding but we persevere all the same.
We are almost swimming here Heather, but keeping afloat. Christmas and New Year greeting to you both
bit late but do hope you had a good Christmas and wish you all the best for 2016 xxx
I am even later, hope you had a great Christmas despite the horrible weather. Your decorations looked lovely. We are hot and sticky here, but in between the weather extremes - horrible bushfires in Victoria and floods in North Queensland! Happy New Year to you.
Your home is lovely! We didn't decorate since we were going to be gone so much. The weather HAS been weird! We're finally home in Ohio now & the weather has decided to go back to normal. It was quite brisk when I went out to feed the birds earlier.
