    You forgot the partridge in a pear tree! :p

    Seriously though well done, that's a lot of work on that table, and it looks delicious. Any pizza left? :D

    I love the Advent Wreath, and of course the food looks delicious.
    Put the oven on for tea so made the most of it and made - homemade oven chips, breaded chicken breast, apple crumble (made by DS age 14) and some buns which will be covered in chocolate later.

    Yummy
