My wrapping theme had nothing to do with Christmas really. More a chance to cut up some Frankie magazines and use the rainbow of ribbons I got at Spotlight the other week. And the screeds of awesome old-school brown paper I've had all year.
My brother's getting a gortex jacket from the Kathmandu clearance sale - don't tell him! He walks in the rain heaps.
And my self-presents (dress, cushion and two necklaces and an Adele CD and a tub of peanut-butter icecream, not pictured). Just what I wanted! The dress has pockets and plenty of belly-room for mass eating.

Also pictured are my birthday-pictures (the framing of which were my birthday blow-out last month) - all by Pete the Painter. One of them's the interior of Fidel's and the original used to hang in my living room in its glory days. He left the prints as a gift last time he stayed (he now has a wee baby called Olive). The others are the Asian lady with graffiti and the street-lamp.

Merry Christmas to me and the family and you (if you're reading and I like you - you know who you are!).
