A Merry Little Christmas


Normally, around this time of year I go “humbug”, get xmas preparation and xmas shopping stress. Not even to mention the fact that if my ears even have to hear a bar of another Christmas song I will throw a Christmas pudding at the stereo before you can say “Reindeer…”..

Well, not this year…I’m in a Christmas mood, call me deranged. Maybe my good intentions to take it a bit easier on myself are paying off and I am actually looking forward to doing Christmas preparations, got the tree up, the decorations are a blazing, even the presents are waiting impatiently to be opened. No stress, I am even listening to Christmas songs on Spotify…okay, I admit, there may be something wrong with me but on a good note as soon as I hear Rod Stewart trying to croon “merry Christmas”I can’t run fast enough to shut him up…I have my limits…..lol

  It is going to be a simple, quiet little Christmas, just the two of us Paul and me and well all the animals ofcourse…Pauls family Christmas was celebrated in Healesville a week ago and it was a very nice get together, but on Christmas day it is just going to be the two of us, which is quite nice.

I look forward relaxing in the kitchen, already made a Panettone bread just to test ofcourse lol. The raisins have been soaking up brandy for the special icecream pudding. It’s going to be sweet, nice and relaxing: just what both of us need. Well, everybody needs I’d say. Most of the time there is such an expectation, so much pressure…this year, I will have nothing of that. The only expectation I have is to enjoy myself, take it easy and  being with the ones I love, to cook, spin, read and watch a good movie…or two. In short: it's time to be merry, be in a feliz navidad-mood, enjoy and share. It's time to  pack up the stress and throw it in the bin, smile and have a good time.

Bear pretending to be a Xmas Mat….

There are going to be some very exciting things happening in 2013 so I will have to conjure up all the energy for that: Bothwell Spin In being one of them in March!
