Whilst most of my GoY friends are busily getting into the Christmas spirit (or spirits perhaps??) in nice cold parts of the world, I have been having some difficulty joining in. Waking up every morning in 30°C+, I am finding it almost impossible to believe that it is December…let alone nearly Christmas! And, up until now I have been really quite successful at ignoring the whole event… However, shamed by the wonderful Christmas cheer and magical mayhem which has been taking place on GoY lately, I decided that perhaps it was time to take my head out of the sand. Unable to conjure the atmosphere of a big decorated tree twinkling alongside crackling open fire, hung with stockings and ivy, I searched for inspiration and found it in a little gem of a book – ‘How to do Christmas in 6 minutes’ (or something like that). I had a sneak preview and can’t recommend it enough! So, here’s how I went about it. To save time make everything the same colour… Black angel on black Christmas tree 
Black baubles mean you don’t have to spend all day making sure that you have no two colours too close together… 
Although to create a bit of interest I decided to go for different textures! 
Add a little music (Slade is quite difficult to come by here)…. 
And try not to forget what it’s all about! 
I’m dreaming of a black Christmas!! With special thanks to everyone who’s been making me giggle all week – and especially Steviethe terrible – it was the humbug that did it!!! (and I’ve got some of those as well…) HAVE A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
