It’s Monday again, and it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas (in my house it is anyway!) I’ve got most of my Christmas shopping done, just a few bits and pieces to get now.

Our contributor this week will be Corinna with her thoughts on Five Go to Billycock Hill, and I’m planning to finish my review of Amelia Jane Again. Stef has already started on her blog for the week (gold star for her!) and is going to look at The Island of Adventure.

I linked to some Christmassy and wintry posts a couple of weeks ago, but if you’re looking for some more Blyton-themed Christmas material, you can check out some of her poems. We’ve got In the Stable, Santa Clause Gets Busy and The Party.

After charging up my camera, I finally managed to take some pictures of our Christmas tree, so I’ve added a few of those to the end of this post along with a couple from my latest walk (haven’t done many lately thanks to the weather.)
