The tree is now lit....

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..... "Wow" the crowd went!

Before that happened this special visitor, yes you guessed right, Father Christmas arrived by boat to do the honours.... Can you see him waving to all the excited children (and excited parents) ??

The princess and little man got to shake his hand before we all followed him and the band (yes, there's a Christmas band why wouldn't there be.....) to see the Christmas tree get lit!

That you can call a Christmas band, eh....??

"All I want for Christmas is me 2 front teeth!"

Yep the second one fell out today (about time as it has been hanging in one tiny thread for a while) and the princess now looks like this.

By the way, she still got all her hair despite my concern yesterday at the Lucia party at school. All 29 children walked carefully and very proudly with their candles.

So concentrated she was that she forgot to sing (and smile) but so cute though!

Lucia party at school and real candles....

In front of the mirror, the princess is rocking with a lipgloss in her hand. She's miming the words to James Blunt "You're beautiful" which is playing loudly on her pink CD-player.

Last night this was. She's warming up to her big performace tonight at school! Her class are starting the party by walking and singing holding a candle, all dressed in white. It's called Lucia (normally done on the 13th december. Lucia means light 'lux' in Latin) It'll be very cute to see 29 six year olds doing that and very scary.... Children with real candles, walking in a line singing and "Uh... hey mummy and daddy" Ups the child in front is on fire...... No, of course that's not gonna happen. I am making 2 very tight plaits on the princess though, no need to temp faith is there?
