Christmas is coming

Ever since I looked out of the windows this morning seeing the snow that had fallen overnight, I am in the Christmas mood.
Now I am ready to buy Christmas candies and listen to Christmas music.

Funny, 'cause last year, I didn't really get that feeling. Not until I arrived at my parents' house on the 22nd of December.
We have been to Strasbourg to see those famous Christmas markets, singing carols all along the way in the car, but still the "real" feeling only came on that date.

Probably it's because of the snow - even though it's not much and it has almost gone now, but I feel all excited for Christmas to come.

Thank God it's Friday

Week went by in no time. Busy, busy, busy.

Laptop's been okay for a while now. Should I put away the monitor now? Bet it starts all over again ;)

Decided to participate in "Weihnachten im Schukarton" (Christmas in a shoe box) some weeks ago. Bought all kinds of stuff and took some I already had at home:

• scarf, hat, gloves,
• toe socks,
• pencils and coloured pencils,
• writing books and a colouring book,
• playing cards (Sorry, Abel, but it's for a good purpose),
• a teddy bear,
• chocolate,
• tooth brush, tooth paste, soap, cleaning towl
• pony tail holders, cream
• ...

Had a hard time closing the box. Had to leave out the drawing pad and one little notebook.
Hope the little girl who receives it will like it.
