It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and I have begun my crafts and cookies. I love Christmas and everything that comes with it. I have my Christmas playlist on high rotation with the classic albums of Holly Cole, Bony M., The Nutcracker, and Mariah Carey among many other new and old holiday treasures. Glace cherry shortbread ball cookies and gingerbread people have been made this week as I count down my twelve days of cookies (to be continued next week). I was excited to find molasses at the grocery store when I didn’t think it was an Australian ingredient and my peppermint extract came in the mail today as that is also not something to be found down under.
Another thing that comes a bit scarce at Christmas in Australia is snow, so this year I decided that I would inject our house with some magical snowflake bunting. It took a while to cut out each snowflake and sew it to the rickrack but it was well worth my effort because now every year we will have a white Christmas.
With my Christmas Cards posted and most of my presents purchased thanks to online shopping all I have to do now is sit back and watch some classic Christmas movies like The Grinch, Elf, Home Alone, and It’s a Wonderful Life. Merry Christmas Everyone!
