Clever Santa
I thought readers would have a giggle at this Christmas morning photo of some of the family complete with pyjamas with names on them. How clever of Santa Claus to know all our sizes!

Crackin’ Collection
My daughter Tuesday loves nutcrackers and has a whole collection of them. Here she is with just some of them.

Christmas Haven
For me, Christmas starts with a visit to my local garden centre, where I can take my pick of every Christmas decoration imaginable. Their original ideas, such as this upside-down Christmas tree suspended from the ceiling, are inspiring. My imagination is pricked with all their amazing Christmas creations. The atmosphere is amazing; full of Christmas music, and people enjoying just being there. Colleen Brunton, Enfield

Cheery Display
Last year, my daughter placed cut-out soldiers made from three-ply wood and painted by her in my communal garden. She’s so clever!
Now I’m wondering what we can expect this Christmas?

Christmas Coats
I love walks with my sister. Nearer to Christmas, the horses in our local fields in Great Leighs don their Christmas coats. I hope they get some Christmas treats, too.

Thoughtful Gift
For Christmas gifts this year, my homemade pickles and jams were easy to wrap in a new tea towel and my friends were pleased with the extra gift.

Favourite Season
My mum loves Christmas and getting her photo taken in front of Christmas trees. Here she is at a motorway service station in her favourite Christmas jumper, which she will be wearing right through until January. She is on her way to a Turkey and Tinsel week at Warners Holidays , which she loves because she says it makes Christmas last longer.
