It's that time of the year again! That time when I talk about my pretty tree and lovely decorations and manage to mention Christmas at least a gazillion times in every entry!
I wish I could textually render how much I enjoy the couple of weeks leading up to Christmas. I went shopping after work on Friday evening and the weather was all cold and crispy, I had my "Let is snow" playlist on (ie ALL THE CHRISTMAS SONGS) the streets were decorated, the lights were prettying up everything, those little wood cabins where they sell crêpes and gaufres, nougat, hot chocolate, mulled wine etc. were all lined up and it smellt of cinnamon and orange and omg, I was smiling the whole time :)
The past week, especially, has felt like proper Winter-Almost Christmas time. Temperatures have gone down (though the weather has been gorgeous, which is obviously how I love it best. Crisp weather ftw!) and many of my December traditions have nicely paced my time. Last Saturday was Big Top work all day long (as well as part of the night), the next day was my Christmas outing with my best friend and her son (we went to see Frozen).
Then, on Wednesday evening, Cookie and I got our tree and decorated our flat.

Yesterday was our traditional annual FP meeting to go and see The Hobbit (we were missing one member, sadly). We met at 10.00AM to catch an early showing (I always say only for The Hobbit - and the FP lol - would I get up so "early" for a movie on a weekend) then had lunch together. We had such a blast! We loved DoS. Which is a good thing as Cookie and I are taking her nephew to see it next week. To be honest, I foresee several other viewings on our parts :)
And today! Today we're taking my goddaughter to see Frozen (yes, again, good thing I enjoyed it lol) for our traditional Christmas outing with her :)
Good and happy things all around, as you can see :)
