Today’s task was to help deliver 1600 christmas postcards from our church to the community it is surrounded by. Not a roaring success. We only got going at half four and despite wrapping everyone up cosy it was damn cold. And not everyone was happy…
We managed about 10 houses before Caleb tripped, fell and faceplanted in someone’s driveway. Not quite the christmas greeting they were hoping for.
So we left Elijah and Jm to it and went home to tend wounds and cheer up with some burgers and chips.
Speaking of postmen, a quick book plug for those who haven’t come across it for The Jolly Christmas Postman by the Ahlbergs. I am a huge fan of anything the Ahlbergs have produced, ‘Each Peach Pear Plum’ and Peepo being nursery chart-toppers in our house. But their Pocket Postmen series are my favourites; beautifully illustrated, a funny take on a postman’s journey through the world of fairy tales, this is made made irresistable by the actual lift out letters. Many, many happy hours spent with these books. This year we added the Christmas postman to our christmas book bag and I think it’s the best yet. A great xmas pressie for your kids/neices/nephews/any small child you find in the street.
oh my goodness. Your wee ones are adorable! and not so wee. loving your daily posts! xoxo lydia
