22nd Day of Advent and we want some figgy pudding!

Today was Donalds last turn to open the box, aww. it's terribly sad in a way but on the other hand Joy gets one more turn, Teo gets one more turn and it's christmas! hooray! Today Donald read out the activity in his last box:

Sing Christmas Carols!

Oh sure anyone can sing Christmas Carols, infact, We've been doing it all week in the house! but this time we would be doing it for friends and/or family! and hopefully we would get some figgy pudding, cause we wont stop until we get some!

Our first door was my grans, except she wouldn't come to the door so we went in.

We sang Jingle Bells, which If you read my blog yesterday you will know we practiced plenty!

My gran explained to the kids that in her day when she sang carols she got money for it and gave them each a pound, they beamed and thanked their great grandma. William was shocked, he thought carol singing was some crazy american thing that would look silly over here but turns out he was wrong! I was hoping for figgy pudding but Just to see William proved wrong was reward enough for me! Teo on the other hand just wanted a cuddle from his Great Grandma.

We travelled on to our next victim I mean friend. Our next song was 'We wish you a merry christmas'

Now bring us some figgy pudding Now bring us some figgy pudding Now bring us some figgy pudding and bring some out here!

No figgy pudding.

Onward we travelled. We sang our hearts out and were giving up hope of every getting some figgy pudding 'Deck the halls with boughs of holly fa la la la la la la la la' we practiced in the car as we travelled. We wanted to sing for Williams aunt but she wasn't home. we ended up at Williams dads where we finally got some

Cherry cake. Oh well, might as well enjoy it!

We earned it!
