19 Sleeps till Christmas

   

 
  
Now that the birthday celebrations are over its time to start preparing for Christmas!! 

Step 1 put up the Xmas tree and decorate the house – Check

Step 2 plan the Xmas lunch menu -Check

Step 3 Xmas gift shopping – well I’ve started but still have a long way to go so no check there, but in my defence there are still 19 sleeps till Xmas so plenty of time left. Plus it just wouldn’t feel right If I was too organised, that’s just not me. 😜😜😜
 

37 days left till Christmas

  
With only really 5 weeks left till Christmas it’s time to start thinking about Christmas shopping.  I love shopping but somehow the thought of braving the crowds this year does not seem that appealing!! 

Only 55 days till Christmas

  

Another Christmas over

Christmas is finally over what a relief!! Christmas Eve at mums was just lovely – I know I have probably already mentioned this before but I prefer Christmas Eve to Christmas Day and even though this year my gorgeous nephew was missing , we still had a wonderful night.

Christmas Day was wonderful too though, we got perfect weather and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The food was plentiful – in fact we had so much left over that I won’t need to cook for the rest of the week. The turducken I am happy to report was surprisingly nice and moist and even though I couldn’t really taste the duck, the turkey and chicken was nice so was the stuffing. My brother in law took photos of the Turducken he was really impressed with it. Christmas Day finally came to an end at 9:30pm. I was exhausted but very happy.

I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas too.

Turducken!!!

We are on the home stretch now, only two sleeps till Christmas!! Dare I say it I am almost ready. The house is clean, the presents all wrapped, the food has been brought. All that remains is some final tweaking and of course the cooking, but I am lucky to have my mummy and my sister helping me with all of that. We are having the traditional roast pork and roast lamb and just for something different I am also going to be roasting a turducken, which for those of you that don’t know, is a chicken wrapped in duck wrapped in Turkey! What I want to know is who on earth comes up with this stuff? Hopefully it will taste nice, who knows it may even become part of the Christmas tradition.

Here’s to a white Christmas

Only 7 sleeps till Christmas.

11 Sleeps till Christmas

Only 11 more sleeps till Christmas!! This may not have been the best time for me to catch a cold, not with so much to do before Christmas Day!! I keep thinking that once my energy levels return I will be able to power through everything and have it all done in time for the big day. Optimistic much?? Yep I think so!!

I’m feeling a lot better so that is a start, and all my extra curriculum activities are finishing up this week which means more free time to bake and clean and wrap presents and prepare the deck and the house. Despite the cold I am really looking forward to Christmas this year and although it won’t be the same with out my nephew who is overseas visiting family, it will still be super awesome, it always is.

Timely reminder

With Christmas now only 20 sleeps away, thought this was a good reminder to share with everyone.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

Well the Christmas tree is up and the house has been decorated and it sure is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!!

I realise it’s not December yet but tomorrow I have my work Christmas dinner, so there would not have been any time to decorate.

Madelyn and I had lots of fun going through the boxes of Christmas decorations, we had the Christmas carols playing in the background. This year we chose a pink and silver theme for our Christmas tree the only thing missing are some Christmas lights but we will get some during the week.

Even Dexter got into the Christmas spirit rocking a tinsel collar.

Only 25 sleeps till Christmas!!!
