Mince Pies and Mulled Wine

oh what fun was had today

I baked all last night in preparation

then at 1pm the guests arrived

nibbles and mulled wine

mince pies and lemon cake

lots of chocolate cake

the children decorated gingerbread Christmas tree biscuits

we laughed and reminisced, then all too soon

it started to go dark and the children were getting sleepy

and it was time to say goodbye

PS. I do hope everone will join me in Kathy's Christmas A-Z?
