Christmas EDIT #4 Decorating the Christmas Tree

The evolution of our Christmas tree 

Christmas EDIT #3 Christmas Dinner with Friends

.....Cook the turkey and they will come.....

Before heading back home to spend Christmas with our families my flatmate and I wanted to celebrate Christmas with our friends. The deal was we would cook the turkey and the potatoes and provide a mulling service for cheap red wine, and they would bring all the trimmings. This is a great way to throw a huge dinner party and not be stuck in the kitchen wondering why you spent so much money. 

The result.....

 A table full of food

Christmas EDIT #2 An Edinburgh Christmas

With it's castle, churches and Georgian New Town covered in Christmas lights Edinburgh is feeling pretty festive right now. A series of Christmas frolics in the German Market and round the town made some lovely photos to share.

Christmas EDIT #1 A Scandinavian Winter

Having just finished term I'm now allowed to start feeling festive. My final hand-in was a report on Scandinavian landscapes so I wanted to share some of the most frosty and seasonal paintings I wasn't able to include.
