The past
few days I have been;
seeing my biggest
brother and my sister in law who have come from Brazil to be home for Christmas
(so exciting!)
meeting my little nephew for the first time and trying to talk to him
in Portuguese (unsuccessfully)
wrapping gifts with doilies and lace
drinking mulled wine
eating fudge made by a dear friend
trying to get our tree to stand straight (you can see it is still
wonky)
desperately
trying to finish making a teepee (still not finished! Running out of time!)
meeting
girlfriends for lunch and Secret Santa
hanging
up Christmas cards
asking
the boy what he wants Father Christmas to bring him; "a chocolate and a
biscuit"
getting
my husband's present so badly wrong, then having to change it (so bad!)
finding
pine needles everywhere despite getting a tree that doesn't drop its needles,
apparently
watching
Christmas cookery shows-I love Nigel Slater's Christmas jumper
meeting
an old friend for a mulled cider
singing
along at the tops of our voices to the boy's current favourite song 'Tangled Up
in Blue' by Bob Dylan
eating
delicious pizza made by the husband
having
Christmas discos in the kitchen with the boy
cleaning
the house to get ready for our family arriving
I love
Christmas holidays!
Happy
Christmas!
