Christmas is here; claim your gift now!

Okay, post number 1001.  I forgot to write in the previous (1000th) post that you need to post a comment at the foot of the post so I can send you a little gift.  I will only accept comments on the 1000th post for those readers to win something.   And don't forget, if I don't already have your postal address (and you will know if I do), I will need it so I can mail your pressie :-)

Some Christmas-type photos to make this post a bit decorative.  Our entrance hall dressed up for Christmas with my patchwork Xmas tree on the wall next to the grandfather clock, and our Nativity figurines set up on the old air conditioner (which no longer works but is great as a display area).

 Home made donuts and cup cake.  But not edible.  Actually made out of felt - pin cushions!  I've been making these over the past week and have them sitting on the kitchen table where hungry visitors reach out to take one, then say "Oh, they're fake!"
