castalieO.m.g! I actually missed ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
xmenbigbang going live?? How did that happen? What, exactly, was I thinking when I became a member without watching the comm? When did I fall in the kind of parallel universe where I would do such thing? Just o_O Then again, that way, I was able to focus on my lit paper instead of OD'ing on fics and I'm hoping said lit paper will thank me for it. Of course now that I know, it's proving a bit difficult to focus on aforementioned lit paper that I need to finish for Friday, but I'm telling myself that I'll have plenty to read just in time for the Christmas holidays and, between you and me, the idea fills me with glee. Hee omg, it's Christmas before Christmas ♥
Speaking of Christmas (I'm happy to inform you that there won't be any pegging linked with Christmas in this entry! \o/) we bought our tree yesterday and decorated it - as well as the flat - tonight! Oh how I love that time of the year! Decorating the house is maybe my favourite activity of the year :-) We had Michael Bublé's Christmas CD in the background and it's one of those happy & quiet moments in life ♥ ♥
As per usual, I'll share some photos
Cookie suggested we started our Christmas films watching, which was a most excellent idea, and I picked The Muppet Christmas Carol. What with the decorations all around and the film, I was in the right mood to start writing my cards, so I sat down to do just that and I truly thought I'd write ALL THE CARDS... except I ended up only doing five of them. But, hey, five is better than none, so go me! Hopefully I'll post them tomorrow then start on a new batch. Wish me luck!

Our Christmas tree for 2011, hi Christmas tree! Some of the ornaments come from my grandparents, some others from my parents, some others Cookie brought from her mother's. There are ornaments that I bought, some that she bought and some new ones that we bought, as well as some that were given to us as gifts by friends (both from RL and CL). Meaning those ornaments are priceless, pretty, funny, fannish, precious, dorky, amusing etc. etc. Another word would be, "perfect" ;-) |

The traditional Christmas village: no new item this year. Well, for now. December isn't over yet :-) |
 |
Something new. Two of those are cards we bought ourselves, the one in the middle is the first card I received this year sent by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small} loki_dip (thank you again!) |

A little close up. |

The old. If I had to keep one item it'd be this one, I think: it's a wooden Christmas tree that my grandfather made for my mother and godfather when they were little kids. That is, one of them; my mother has one, as well as my sister, godfather and cousins. |
 |
The new. As in the Christmas tree on the right, which we got last month. The Santa Claus on the left is one of the Christmas decorations that moved into the house when Cookie did last year :-) |

Another close-up. Of the tree, obviously :-) |
