Run up to Christmas

Hello to all lovelies,

Welcome to the run up to Christmas my lovelies. It's been an awesome start so far spent with family and friends and I've loved it! This is by far my favourite holiday as I just love winding up those who hate it (including dancing around the living room with my ninja with Castanets singing our own versions of jingle bells)! Sounds bloody awesome! So I have visited the theatre with my friends to the musical version of 'The Commitments'  and Matthew Bournes ‘The Red Shoes’ and we loved it! The festivities have also included putting up the tree and decorations and on the same day of trying to make some rice krispie green Christmas tree treats

that turned to absolute mush due to the ingredients of the food colouring not mixing well with the melted white chocolate….boooooo.

However, enter super mum who has the ability to ‘wing it’ in most unfortunate situations who took the green playdough like substance moulded it into cone like shapes and left them to set. Ta Daaaaa!!!!!!

               Within an hour, they were ready to decorate

into cute little ‘Christmas trees’ with all the cute things I had purchased in the first place which the ninja was so looking forward to. Didn’t taste bad either, he he.

This is such a fun time of year to decorate the house with family and there are always certain moments that just melt my heart especially when it comes to the memories of Christmas past in which the ninja is so grown up about. She is like a miniature adult with her attitude towards situations and life in general (more about how to deal living with a mini adult in later blog posts). So back to Christmas and to make sure I enjoy it even more, I try to make sure I am organised with my gifts and wrapping as I tend to have many reunions with friends I haven’t seen in the run up to Christmas which is always so lovely. Also dressing up in the most annoying Christmas outfits ever is also the best fun especially when it has bells on!

So now my house is all decorated up looking extremely festive and very ready for the party season so now I can sit and relax more on an evening in the twinkle of my Christmas tree lights snuggled up and drinking hot chocolate.

Hope you are all ready for the party season.

Thanks for reading.

Happy holidays xxxx
