…shoowee, guys, it’s December! How did that just happen, I swear it was just Easter? Jingoes! And as always, December will be a busy one. I fear that this year I will be compromising ever so slightly on my handmade gift manifesto… But I have made some good progress on my shopping (and some making). The children I know are all covered, except for my own nieces and nephew, but their gifts are planned already. Thandi is almost covered (anyone know where I could find a cool school backpack, maybe even personalised?), Charlie not so much, but his gift is planned, and then there will be a bit of biscuit baking and jam and curd making to round out the experience for friends and more distant family.
Then there is the meal planning – Christmas eve I am determined to just have a quiet one, making some of our own little traditions, for the 3 of us. And then the day, I think this year I am doing a completely different take on things – a seafood extravaganza! If I can get some crays, yes please; a fish on the braai, some prawns and calamari, and then some dessert – I’m thinking a meringue roulade, and other delights! Yum!
3 weeks (and some change) to go!
