I did this half way through November when I started to hear Christmas music being played in the shops! I’m sorry – I can’t help it! For the last couple of weeks my ipod has been full of nothing but Christmas music (there’s a little video treat for you below (technically you shouldn’t get this until 17 Dec but I’m good to you)), I’ve already done all my Christmas shopping, the Christmas party’s booked, the Christmas food order’s placed, I’ve been to the Harrogate Christmas market and made plans to go to the Leeds one in a couple of weeks.
I really started to get excited about it on Sunday night (30th) when Mine Truly presented me with an advent gift (he's lovely like that) - I now have a Christmas jumper for my mug! :-)
I'm absolutely gutted - the best video of this song has now been listed as private :-( I loved watching it at Christmas, it never failed to bring a smile to my face and put me in the festive frame of mind. You'll just have to enjoy the song and cope with the boring video I'm afraid!
Yay! I've found the video here (wow, real time blogging!) http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/DL_JpzbYf5s - the sounds rubbish (and the video takes ages to load) but it's worth it!
And, mine truly and I had a lovely day this week putting our decorations up! The sherry (port and lemonade for Mine Truly) was flowing (ridiculously early I might add!), the Christmas tunes were on and there was a distinct layer of glitter to be found on, well, pretty much everything! The evening was spent in festive bliss (mine) and relief (mine truly’s) whilst having a carpet picnic by the tree and watching Miracle on 34th Street and It’s a Wonderful Life.
Ready to go in my decorating outfit
The disinterested cats
The bedroom
Even the bathroom wasn't excluded from the festive make-over!
And then I was able to spend another evening by the tree (with yet more sherry and Christmas tunes) making a start on the present wrapping!
I am one happy bunny :-)
(I also love that Channel 5 have been showing 3 Christmas movies back to back on weekends for the last few weeks – yay!)
Slippers appreciation Day
I have 3 new pairs (courtesy of Bernie (Panda), John (Fluffy) last Christmas and Santa (Elf Boots)) to add to the collection – it’s a shame I only have 2 feet really!
