Christmas craft and advent

I hung the decorations on my tree yesterday, such as it is. Because I am not usually home for Christmas, I don't usually decorate my flat. Shame really, because I like a little festivity, so I have started collecting, and flagging ideas for making, a few little decorative things here and there.

I chuckled at this post from Jenny about Christmas craft. It's not for everyone. The thing is, every year I follow the blogs and feel b-grade because I don't have an advent calendar (I'm going to make one one of these days), and it seems absolutely everybody in blog world is working through advent calendars. So I was pleased to see that this year the bible society is running one online. This is the first video: the Annunciation, read by a homeless chap. I love it. You can follow the rest here.
