I can take or leave Christmas these days. Days off work, spending time with family, feasting and drinking are all good points. Exchange of gifts and having to be in a jolly mood from early December are rubbish. However, for me over recent years, Christmas begins with carrolling around Moortown with the Wrights. It is the only time of the year that I sing in public, and Christmas carols take me back to my childhood. The tunes are simple and evocative, the lyrics are often unintentionally hilarious. Fourth verse of We Three Kings anyone? How about abhoring not the Virgin's womb? Anyway, after singing heartily in North Leeds on 22nd December, I came home to measure fruit. This year I have 8 lbs 14 oz of ingredients plus 2 satsumas. This is made up of 1¼ oz rosehips, 9 oz sloes, 14¾ oz apples, 1 lb 1 oz gooseberries (mostly green), 10 oz gooseberries (entirely red), 1 lb 14½ oz blackberries, 2 lb 5 oz blackcurrants, 1 lb 1¾ oz elderberries and 4¾ oz rose petals. I let it all defrost overnight, during which I got exceptionally cross with Aggie for her unearthly mewing, and the next day, which was my last day in the office until 5 January. On the evening of 23 December I boiled 12 pints water and poured this over the mashed fruit. I added 6 lbs sugar. Claire kept me company in the kitchen, crocheting bladder tumours while I crashed about, mostly dropping things and saying "oops". It has been a lovely evening and we have spent the last half hour finishing the Christmas jigsaw in a vaguely competitive manner. The Christmas Jigsaw I put the yeast and a teaspoon and a bit each of nutrient and pectolase on Christmas Eve morning and spent the next few hours working more dilligently than befits one on holiday. The contents of the bucket were given a stir and then left until we came back from Newcastle on Saturday afternoon, when it got another stir. The mixture fermenting I put the liquid into its two demijohns on Monday afternoon, 29 December, while suffering from a heavy cold. I made sure that my sneezes and hacking coughs were always directed away from the wine. It is currently an attractive dark purple and the taste I took at the end was encouragingly fruity. NB - This is my 700th post since I started the blog in April 2011. NB2 - If you want to see how this wine turned out, click here

On the heels of St. Nicholas day, comes St. Lucia day! We've enjoyed learning about these people of both history and legend, whose memories have become so closely associated with Christmas in various countries. We like to keep Christmas about the nativity, but learning about these special people who loved Christ is a fun way to prepare for Christmas. Lucy of Syracuse, according to the stories, carried food down to the Christians hiding from persecution in the catacombs. With her arms full of bread, she put candles in a wreath on her head to light the way. She was martyred for her faith during the reign of Diocletian in 304 AD. Lucy Cats We made bread the day before so that we could have them for breakfast this morning. I was confused why the buns, called Lussekatter or Lucy cats, were shaped like an S, or what cats had to do with St. Lucia! Quite the mystery, until I read this: The Lucy cat is an interesting little cake. If you look closely it has the appearance of two eyes. We remember that Jesus told us how the eye is the light of the body. Yet, in the tradition of St. Lucy, her physical eyes were gouged out. Yet, she saw the light of Christ with her spiritual eyes. And so, in the Lucy Cats, she reminds us that we need to open our spiritual eyes so that we can also see the light and not fear the darkness. During the longest night of darkness, and with a simple pastry, she tells us to have faith and to rejoice and sing. As St. John wrote, “And the light shined in the darkness, and the darkness could not overcome it.” (John 1.5) - source What a sweet story for the weeks leading up to Christmas, while we are anticipating for the coming of Christ the true light! Materials: felt cut in squiggly-leafy shaped strips, green and yellow (and orange) pipe cleaners, white pony beads and a bit of fabric glue. The girls and I made St. Lucia wreaths from pipe cleaners and felt. I don't use pipe cleaners often, but a friend suggested this activity and we thought we'd give it a try. The original tutorial is from here, but I used felt cut into leaf shapes instead of fabric. fun with beads and pipe cleaners. The girls really liked twisting the pipe cleaners and putting the beads on. Getting the bead-candles to stand up was definitely the hardest part. I let the girls go play while I wound the leaves on, and was able to prop the candles of with the leaves. Then they came back to help me glue the berries on. We were pretty pleased with the results. :) They make a cute table decoration as well, and will store nicely for next year I hope. Happy St. Lucia day! May your eyes be full of light! The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. - Matthew 6:22

Anche quest'anno è arrivato il tempo di presentarvi la mia collezione natalizia. Per la dodicesima edizione di White Christmas c'è voluta un'intera settimana di lavoro ininterrotto per vestire a festa il mio piccolo negozio. Un anno lungo quello che sta per concludersi, un anno bello ma anche uno dei più intensi della mia vita, pieno di emozioni, di cambiamenti di rotta, di imprevisti e sono state tutte queste cose a suggerirmi il tema del mio Natale: la Magia. E allora nella mia collezione troverete fate che arrivano dalla lontana Norvegia meravigliosi angeli che raccontano i nostri sentimenti, cristalli magici, tisane speciali piene di caramelle, candele profumate e bastoncini di zucchero, scatoline realizzate mano, tessuti preziosi e su cuscini, lenzuola e tovaglie abbiamo fatto cucire polvere di stelle...e poi ci sono i personaggi delle favole tutti fatti a mano e le stelle in lino e lavanda fatte arrivare apposta per noi dall'Inghilterra e poi...no, raccontare in poche righe tutto quello che ho scovato in giro per il mondo è impossibile... La magia del bianco, non ho scelto accenti di colore quest'anno, solo bianco, perchè volevo un Natale semplice, sereno e luminoso perchè sia il Natale stesso ad infondere il colore nel nostro cuore. Questa è la mia piccola Magia Spero vi piaccia... E' notte fonda quando ormai scatto molte di queste foto (e si vede ^_^ ), il primo allestimento è concluso e quest'anno volutamente ne pubblico solo una parte, vi aspettiamo in negozio per scoprire tutta la Magia :) Dora
