Christmas!

IT'S CHRISTMAS SOON.

I adore Christmas.


I tend to go a little crazy around this time. Christmas has always been a huge deal in my family, my wonderful Mum spoilt us rotten and we usually celebrate the most over the top Christmas for the whole month, we do carols, ridiculous feasts, lights and the most horrendous t-shirts we can find. I love it all. I'm having my very first Christmas away from my family, i usually fly to Melbourne and spend it with them for a few days. This year I'm Christmas with Spomes family, then our friends are all meeting back at our place in the evening (hopefully laden with plates of left overs from their lunches) and we will all eat, drink and generally fall into a comfortable Christmas coma.

For gifts this year I'm trying to make a little something for everyone, I've been stocking up the fridge and cupboards with as much produce that can fit in our house. Yesterday marked the first day of my Christmas extravaganza.



The grand haul, Kitten not included in the purchases.
