Letter from Santa

Hi Ladies

This week has been all about Christmas! I've been organising a fabulous evening of Christmas shopping at the Star Cafe in Partridge Green. I'm really happy with the mixture of stalls, there'll be something for everyone. I even made a Christmas playlist for some festive tunes :)

For a line up have a look at out website www.seasonalsisters.com/Christmas_shopping you can click on links to see seller's websites too :)

Ally & Tiny (& Robert of course) are away this weekend at Disneyland Paris, can you imagine how fabulous it'll be over there in the chilly weather with all the fabulous Christmas parades??? Perfect. I can't wait to hear all about it & see some pics. I'm thinking Ally with come home all inspired & dive straight into making the house all Christmassy :)

While they're away, I've done my secret Auntie duty & arranged a letter from Santa for Tiny. It's become a tradition now & this year I found an even better place to arrange it. Santa has teamed up with the NSPCC & we can now order our Santa letters directly from their website www.nspccwishes.org.uk/letter-from-santa The suggested donation is £5 but of course you can give as much as you like! The final ordering date is 19 December 10 but why not have it arrive earlier to remind the little ones to be on their best behaviour knowing Santa is thinking of them?? I'm so excited :)

So, it's officially Winter now & I've got all my fabulous cosy scarves & gloves out. The trouble with Winter fashion is keeping warm & still looking fabulous. If you need any style advice the best place to visit is www.stylestep.co.uk & have a chat with Helen. She'll be at our shopping evening this week & she's bringing some beautiful pashminas to sell in your best possible colour!

For the first time ever I started my Christmas shopping in November thanks to Hawkins Bazaar mail order www.hawkin.com I just LOVE all the stocking fillers that make you smile. I'm sure there's nothing on the site you actually need just loads & loads of fun stuff.

Now ladies, if this blog has scared you with the love of all things Christmassy, step away now & come back to us in January!

Coming soon.....lots of gift ideas (for all budgets)...Disneyland Paris news....decorating ideas....festive recipes...Christmas......Christmas.......Christmas......

Don't forget we'll be at The Star Cafe, Star Road, Partridge Green Thursday 2 December 630~10pm......come along & help us kick Christmas off with some fabulous shopping :)

Oh & one final thing, us Seasonals would like to wish the very fabulous John Galliano a very Happy 50th Birthday for Sunday :)

Well, winter is here which means the festive season is nearly upon us..... Second to seeing the first lambs of spring, my most favourite time of year! I love EVERYTHING about Christmas, ordering my meat, decorating the house, a visit to Santa with my little lady and a seasonal shopping trip with my fabulous sister! Every year we set the date and have a day, just us and comfy (although not always fabulous) shoes, in London.... A definite festive highlight and we cherish every hour of the day!

My only niggle about Christmas is, it seems to creep into the store earlier every year! We seem to be replacing pumpkins and spooky costumes with tins of quality streets and isles of festive treats!!! I think everything about Christmas is fabulous but it doesn't need to start so early!

I write lists for everything ...... So right now I'm planning where to take my tiny one to see Santa, organising my diary of events and catching up with friends! Without fail my tree will be up on the first day of advent and I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a complete 5 year old at heart and wouldn't change it for anything!!!

Come & visit us at our Christmas shopping evening, The Star Cafe, Star Road, Partridge Green, Thursday 2 December, 630~10pm. All welcome, help us make it super Christmassy & a fun evening :)

More soon

Seasonal Sisters support Oprah's No Phone Zone Pledge

Hi Ladies

This week I seem to have spent alot of time with Oprah! When I'm home on my own its usually around the time of a double episode of her show on diva tv (channel 269 on sky). I just LOVE her & her tv show & this week I was reminded of a show from earlier on in the year she did about distracted driving. She was talking to families who had lost loved ones because of distracted driving, mainly texting while driving. I know we all know we shouldn't be talking on a mobile phone while we drive unless we have hands free but I wonder what everyone thinks about texting while driving? I haven't sent a text while driving in a few years now after nearly driving into the back of someone in a traffic jam but after watching Oprah's show, I signed the pledge on http://www.oprah.com/ to add my support. It sounds obvious to say that we are not able to concentrate on the road if we are sending messages but if you watch the show, you will see just what kind of damage can be done, it's truly scary.

The full show is available to watch online at www.oprah.com/oprahshow/Watch-The-Full-Hour-Americas-New-Deadly-Obsession-Video
