Looking for Xmas

11 12 2011

This year I haven’t decorated much for the holidays as we are celebrating Christmas in Spain and we are actually already leaving today. It means that I have only spent 4 days in Brussels this month! However, I couldn’t stop myself from bringing out a few decorations anyway…

My plan is to try to make O’s parents’ home cosy for the holidays, especially as it is V’s first Christmas even if he won’t remember it… And to do some baking, maybe together with O’s 5-year old niece.

Glögg from 2006. It tasted ok, probably because it is 12% alcohol… Why do we have 5 year old glögg? Well, we bought it for a glögg party in 2006, didn’t finish all the bottles and then put them in storage when we moved to Puerto Rico!

I really like this angel light from Ikea (sold out it seems!), which I use as a night light by the bed. V doesn’t like the pacifier, and keeps spitting it out – I guess that I shouldn’t insist.

Xmas socks that I will wear in bed in Spain – it is cold in O’s parents’ house!

V will have to wait at least another two years before I prepare the advent calendar with small gifts
