A little lad from across the road just called round with his Mum to give me a hand-made card saying 'Thank You for the sweets'. And he'd drawn our three cats too. He's only tiny; his drawing was very good.
I was very touched.

keberoxu, are you in USA or Canada perhaps? It's funny how memories of old times come to mind isn't it? I recall as a Girl Guide dressing up as a ghost in an old sheet, and bobbing for apples in our village hall (near London). Being out in the dark was, I remember, very exciting.

Our village here in Norfolk does Christmas very well too, with a huge Christingle service at the church for all the children, and carol singing with lanterns round the houses. It's a bit of a time warp really. I just adore it all.
