Joyeux Noël !
Dec. 24th, 2013 08:34 amI've been on holidays for four days now and I haven't had a single lie-in yet. What the hell? Case in point, I've been awake since 7.30AM this morning. It's annoying :-/
I've been meaning to post earlier but I wanted to share some pictures of my weekend when doing so. Alas, I'm having some issues with my mobile and I haven't been able to synch aforementioned pictures to my dropbox account yet.
Those were good pictures, too. We've had Cookie's nephew with us most of the weekend and have been spending most of it with my BIL and cousin-in-law. We went to see The Hobbit (third time for us, though in French, this time, and in 2D, so it was kinda like a first) on Saturday, played a mad Monopoly: the Hobbit game in the evening with him (like, for three hours, and we had to cut the game short or he would have played well into the night lol) then went to one of Paris' big Christmas market on Sunday (hence the pretty pictures I wanted to share).
I also participated in a fun BookTube online "event". Some BookTubers organised a short, laid-back BookAThon (ChristmasBookTubeAThon, to be precise) where the goal was to read as much as possible over the weekend. A hashtag had been created so that people participating could share their reading and exchange with others and it was so much fun! I couldn't participate a lot as I was busy all weekend but I did squeeze some reading (especially Friday night as I was on my lonesome at home) and managed to finish The Name of the Wind (by Patrick Rothfuss). I highly recommend that book to anyone who's into fantasy, it's a gorgeous and compelling read.
All in all, a very lovely weekend was had :)
Yesterday we did some last-minute Christmas shopping in the morning, then spent the afternoon at my parents' to start the first part of the cooking - we're in charge of the appetisers and we do them from scratch. We'll go back later this morning for the last part of it.
Then we'll be leaving for my godfather and aunt's in the afternoon and celebrate Christmas all together this evening ♥ Always so odd to think that this is it, after weeks of anticipation, Christmas has arrived :) I'm pretty excited to be with the whole family, as per usual, and also to see my tiny wee nephew Killian whom I haven't seen in a whole month! Can't wait to hold a one-month old baby in my arm :)
And ok, I'll stop here. I wish all of you who celebrate Christmas a wonderful time with your family and friends (or on your own!) and those who don't, a great day all the same :)
