The feeling of excitement as the last days of November slip away, and winter takes a grip from now on. As we work our way to the Christmas holidays for those at school. Extra clothing for those who are walking out and about, thin layers are best one on top of the other if you can.
Everyone this year will be taking extra steps to save money as best they can to pay for some extra bills.
It might be helpful to research in the library for ways to help keep warm and eat healthily. Hot water bottles well covered might make a comeback, they certainly are a comfort to me.
Homemade soups are very sustaining and warming. Switch off plugs and gadgets you are not using. Play board games, cards and jigsaws instead if you are warm enough. You might find the companionship of winter evenings draws you closer to those you love.
Time to plan what you might want to do for your family Christmas. Time to put up a Christmas tree, to bring in cheer and goodwill into the home. We are going to bring ours down from the loft, to decorate it with love remembered from years gone by. When tying on baubles given by family members and friends now gone. So many memories good ones for us, are revived when dressing the Christmas Tree.
Take care, love one another, and share where you can.
From Penny Wobbly and the WobblingPen team.
