Jingle Bells

The JYC prompt today was about recording a memory (2 really) about Christmas, one good, the other not so good. I found this really hard last year, i don't know whether i only seem to recall the good times, but the words 'unhappy' and 'Christmas' really don't go together for me. So I've stuck to just a happy memory i recall from our first Christmas in this house. I remember coming to view the house in November, and imagining what Christmas would be like in our new house, but it took us until March to move in, so i had to wait until the next year to find out!

This story reminds me of the sweet times we had at Christmas when the children were very small, and although we still enjoy the festive season, it is not the same now they are older.

I went bit mad with some jingly bells i had in my stash (from Paperchase) and have hung these from the bottom of the page using ribbon and brads, as they go well with the story. Not sure how well the journal will stand up though!
