The Advent season leading to Christmas is such fun for me and here are some of my activities. I have prepared some flowers to decorate my Christmas cake; covered the Christmas cake with marzipan; making Christmas biscuits etc. Here are photos to show some of my activities.
Technically, we prepare for Christmas not by doing kitchen activities or going shopping or buying presents on-line - BUT by getting rid of the rubbish in our hearts and clearing a space for Jesus to be born in us so we can proclaim his love for others. These kitchen activities are well and good, but if I am unable to do everything with all my heart for the greater glory of God, these activities are all a waste of time.
With this in mind, I still have loads to do. I must make some fresh Royal Icing and decorate the panels of my gingerbread house and also finish decorating the flowers by adding details. The flowers you see in the pictures above are inspired by Mich Turner MBE and I like the way she mixes old and new together to get something better. Her husband and children must be so trilled to have a wife and mother like Mich.
