Better late than never

Call me slow, but I just realised that Christmas is coming. Maybe it's because Christmas doesn't seem to be so in your face here, maybe it's because I've been busy doing other things. But realised that it's really just a few short week's away when I was watching new ER and they had a Christmas episode on where they had all decorated Christmas trees and I started thinking about our Christmas trees...

None of my normal Christmas routines are present, like getting the tickets to Finland, buying presents, making plans... This Christmas I'm going to celebrate Christmas away from my parents and from my family, for the first time in my life. At times it makes me sad, at times it gets me exited and a bit anxious trying to think how I need to arrange all those lovely things my mom does that I take for granted. Do they do mulled wine in Canada? I need to visit my local liquor store to find out. And ginger bread? Organic salted ham? Need to check those too...

And presents, due to unfortunate events last month, I haven't bought any. So sorry guys, I still love you and I'm still thinking about you all.

Dearest, the best gift is that you're both ok and starting to settle in. *hug*

It is fun and interesting to create your first own Christmas. Make it look like yours,Kolibri and Dragon! Use your creativity (but don't forget to rest). You are always in our harts, but spesially at Christmas time.
