Of course there is chandelier swinging, we're all experts at it now. there are even red, green, gold and silver streamers attached to it to swish with us as we go!

That purple wall looks great GB - goes perfectly with mad coloured one voltaire painted a while ago and i think killed kitten may have had a hand in that too. Vibrant colours rock.

pancakes with all the fillings with smoothies this morning along with teas, coffee, hot chocolate and juice. enjoy.

have a very nice day everyone.

Two days until Christmas....is everyone ready? What are folks doing for the holidays? We're going to my hubby's grandmother's house to visit.

Yes - Irish is right - Let's everybody have a nice day!

I am making lime chicken with mangetout and broccoli for this evening when two of my kids will be home and plan on a chicken korma with basmati rice for tomorrow night (a christmas ever tradition) followed by mulled wine when Wolfgang arrives and he's collecting my other son and his dog on his way here!

I hope I haven't forgotten anything. I'm getting my hair done at two o'clock today, visiting tj, doing the last shopping and then the train collection.

Enjoy your visiting Spacekat. ho ho ho

Since it's been so mild here, we are going to a drive in movie on Christmas eve. Christmas day I'm having my parents, sisters and their kids over. Going to be busy cleaning all day tomorrow and cooking which is going to carry onto Christnas morning. All that cooking!!

Going to Christmas brunch at a nephews house only 20 minute drive. ..Champagne, appetizers, and low key fun!

Hopefully I'll be able to hide under the covers.
Fat chance...we're going to MIL's and Grandmas around 5pm. Oh wait, that's Christmas Eve.
We're not doing anything for xmas. I'm going to wallow in bed.
And use my SAD light to get over this damn mood.

Dobie, I hear you! I'm sorry. I hope the SAD light helps! I have one too and since it's been raining for days and days, it's time to break mine out too. Thanks for reminding me!

Tomorrow is church in the afternoon and then Christmas Eve with family-(DH's family). Cooking a traditional egg casserole with sausage and cheese and then monkey bread for Christmas morning.

I'm searching high and low for some holiday cheer so if anyone has any to spare throw it my way! :-)

It takes a few sessions before it starts working. So I will cower in tears and fears under the kitchen table. This too shall pass.

Hopefully it passes soon Dobie sneak some Bailey's under there and some marzipan!

Well, dobes, that sucks. I hope that light box works quickly. Sorry sweets.

I too hope your light box therapy works well, too. It does often take a few sessions before you see any effect so don't give up! We need you here!! I hope you feel better, soon. Just hope. xoxo

We're going mumming!! For those of you who don't know what that is:

Mummers were originally bands of masked persons who during winter festivals in Europe paraded the streets and entered houses to dance or play dice in silence. Momerie was a popular amusement between the 13th and 16th century.

Hopefully it will be interesting! It's gosh darn 64 degrees here!! Got to do something outside!

Mumming sounds fun SK!

I'm cooking today a bunch of last minute gifts.

Just like being home for once pouring rain here you enjoy the 65 degree weather!

that's interesting kat. sounds like something an agoraphobic could do, actually, masked and singing. (Odd as that sounds, I really mean it. I think I would feel safe and merry.) Have fun!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY!! Love all around!


We "Mummed" -- only at my hubby's grandmother's house. It was fun.

Merry Christmas SpaceKat and everyone else. I hope you are feeling better I am.
