castalieOmg, I can't believe Christmas is upon us! Tomorrow, people, it's tomorrow! (I mean, for those of us who celebrate on the 24th, obviously). The excitement, it is hard to contain ;)
We're 99% done on the Christmas gifts front and we're about to leave for Paris to get the Very Last Present (I know what to get and where to get it and there's no risk of it being out of stock so that's 0% stress) meaning that in a couple of hours, we'll be officially done. We've also planned a little visit to Marks & Spencer to get some scones and whatnot to add to our little post-Christmas brunch on the 25th (since we'll be staying at my parents').
I love Christmas shopping in its many forms :) Plus, I'm already thinking of the crêpe I'll get later on - an important part of some of our outings in Paris, especially in Winter ;) Mind you, I say "Winter" but right now, the cold hasn't really decided to make an appearance, it's supposedly 12°C today and that saddens me. Truly, it does. Please to be getting cold soon, ok? I'm not even asking for snow at this stage (I think I've accepted that this will be another year without snow in Ile-deFrance) but at least some low temperatures, please? (I should move to a colder part of France, really, so that these shenanigans don't happen!)
Then again, I'm still going out with my gloves and my woolly hat (which I love, it has a pompom and it is warm and cute!) even though they mostly stay in my handbag. It's the principle of the thing, you know what I mean?
Anyway, this is just a little (random, oh so random) post because I'm having a lazy morning, I was just listening to an adaptation of Jane Eyre on the radio (French radio) and I was having quite a languid time of it; snuggled up in my blanket, watching the Christmas tree and listening to this classic. Pretty lovely morning, if you ask me :)
Hope you're having a nice week, flist, and that the Christmas preparations (if you celebrate Christmas) aren't stressing you out *hugs*
