scottishlassI know I'm getting a little ahead of myself, considering it's not even Halloween yet, but Christmas is on my mind. Yesterday, when I put out our ceramic pumpkin lanterns in our hallway, I couldn't help but think of Christmas already.
I readily admit it ... I love Christmas, and I do not wait until December to start thinking about and planning for it. Thoughts of Christmas actually start popping into my head on a regular basis as soon as autumn starts with the changing of the leaves. Once the days grow shorter and the lights are turned on in the afternoons, I can't help but think about Christmas and the excitement (and work) it brings.
I want to go all out this year ... and I want to have another Christmas dinner ... friends, family all in one room and eating, drinking and being merry ... I just have to persuade His Hubbiness™ first.
Another year is over and still no news on the house project. I really are getting fed up as HisHubbiness™ is dragging his feet. If we do not buy a house by the end of 2010, we don't need to buy anymore because then we won't have it paid in full till the time we both turn into pensioners.
Anyway, I'm planning on decorating the whole apartment with cookies, and scents and candles as well as holly and fir twigs. I am even contemplating baking cookies myself and planning a cook out party at the end of November with a friend at her place.
Then there will be a traditional Regency Christmas again, which I'm looking forward to and still need to prepare clothes for LOL
What are your plans for Christmas? Are you going to decorate your whole house/apartment with ornaments and will you get a real Christmas tree? Or will you just celebrate quietly with family at home?
