Christmas Traditions Week #2

Here are this weeks Christmas Traditions!

Bringing Oisín To See Santa
This is the same Santa as last year a different venue
Oisín really liked this Santa he shook his hand
gave him his Christmas letter, asked him for a big car and a Woody from Toy Story!
Was happy to sit on his knee and then gave him a high five at the end!

Our Family Day in Dublin City Centre
We live in Dublin but to be honest we don't go into the city centre that often
We always go in to see the Christmas Lights and this year
Oisín really really liked them he was his in his buggy
and then walked holding our hands with such a expression of awe on his face!

Christmas TV Guide
I love curling up with a hot chocolate
with pen in hand to settle down and
circle what I am going to watch over Christmas
This year we are most looking forward to
Sherlock, Mrs Browns Boys, Call The Midwife,
and Downton Abbey 

Over The Weekend #12

We had a lovely festive weekend
as the hubby was working the weekend
we brought Oisín into Dublin City Centre on Friday
to see Santa and enjoy the Christmas markets

It was really cool Friday morning so

Oisín was really wrapped up!

Oisin loved the lights, he was pointed and laughing at them!

Santa Claus and Oisín
Oisín was so good and we even managed a photo on Santa's knee!

Saturday was my Slimming World Christmas Party
My friend and I had a ball
and drank maybe a little too much!

Sunday was mostly spent like this
crashing on the sofa with tea, Christmas lights and Christmas movies!!

It's Being To Look alot Like Christmas!

Our home, work place and city centre is all looking like Christmas

Oisín went to see Santa Claus for the first time this month!

Christmas Traditions Week 2

Going to see Santa Claus

This was a new tradition for us this year
apart from going to see Santa as a child
this was the first time we have been back
It was such a wonderful thing when on
Sunday morning we brought Oisín to
see Santa Claus for the first time
He loved the toy work shop he got to
play in before Santa
He wasn't so sure of Santa at first
but then he came around and sat on his knee

Visiting a Christmas market

This is a not so new tradition
we started this three years ago at
the Christmas markets in New York
this year we went to a new
one at St Stephen's Green
it was good fun
We drank mulled wine
and ate pulled pork!

Going into Dublin City Centre to
see the Christmas Lights

This has always been a
tradition in my family
but as I got older I forgot
about it and never made a huge
effort to go see the lights in town
this year was different we
wanted Oisín to see it
He face was a picture when he
woke from his nap in his pram
to realise it had got dark and
there was lights all around him!
