This was mine and Mark's first Christmas living together and it was really lovely to spend some time with each other and our friends and family. We had a lot of food and drink and some really lovely presents and I feel very very lucky...
♥ This crystal star ornament c/o The White Company has been making us feel very Christmassy and looks lovely on the top of the tree with the lights. I can't find it on the website but I imagine that you can still get it instore...
♥ Homemade cinnamon swirls (recipe here) were the perfect breakfast and they lasted for a few days which meant I could have them on all 3 days of Christmas ;)
♥ Eaten with a mug of strong coffee...
♥ ... and some freshly squeezed orange juice...
♥ Me looking very pleased with some of my presents from Mark, despite having no room left on my bookshelf, I will always love getting new books!
♥ Trashy DVDs will also always be welcome!
♥ Lovely presents from our friends...
♥ On Christmas Eve Mark and I cooked a roast beef dinner which was absolutely yummy!
♥ Yes I know, another blogger cliche! I love a good scented candle and this one c/o The White Company has been making the house smell gorgeous - it's a heady mix of cinnamon, clove and orange...
What has made Christmas special for you this year?

Mm cinnamon swirls! What I wouldn't do for one of those right now...! It looks like you had a lovely Christmas Maria, it must have been all the more special to be the first with Mark too! (: I think spending time with my immediate and extended family has made Christmas 'special' for me this year. Also, I'm so sad I didn't get to chat with you at the SWBXmas, Maria! xx
did you save me a cinnamon swirl?
Sounds like you're having a great Christmas. I love getting books too! The Year of the Flood is fantastic! Enjoy reading it.
