Hitty Mischievous lights the Christmas Tree!

You may recall that we had to remind Hitty Mischievous to wait until we had more decorations on the tree before she could try some of her 'magic' to get the lights working.

We worked hard this afternoon getting a few more decorations up.

Hitty Mischievous was delighted she could finally have a go at some of her 'special MAGIC' as she called it.

She raised her hands....

Said a few words (and we waited with trepidation...  when lo and behold...

It worked!

What a surprise, for all of us, including Hitty Mischievous!

She looks absolutely stunned and very pleased with herself.

We are all thrilled, doesn't it look pretty?

While all the excitement was going on, Hitty Joyful was out looking after the animals....  she also did some decorating of the trees in the garden.

The Christmas Tree

We have started the Christmas decorating here in Rose Cottage although so far we have only managed to get the tree up.  

Hitty Mischievous is very excited and is sure she can work her magic on getting the lights to work...

We watch anxiously,....

Everyone is getting in on the act.

Well it is a hive of activity here in Rose Cottage today.  I (Hitty Patience) am busy writing Christmas letters, and the rest of the family are busy decorating.

Some more tinsel has been added to the tree by Hitty Joy, Hitty Moana and Hitty Ethel.  

Careful up there Hitty Carol Faith!  Hitty Madge steadies the chair while Hitty Carol Faith hangs a string of tinsel across the room.

Hitty Annabelle has just put on some music.

Little Brittany and Miles have just up the nativity scene and are sitting down listening to the Christmas music Hitty Annabelle has put on the gramophone.

They children have been discussing what they hope to get for Christmas.

Looks like Hitty Granny Estelle has taken a brief respite from all the Christmas baking to have a quiet cup of tea.

Decorating the tree.

Slow and gentle progress is being made on the Christmas decorating in Rose Cottage.

Hitty Joy, Hitty Moana and Hitty Ethel have been decorating the tree today.

Doesn't this look lovely with the beads?  Hitty Joy exclaims.
