It's open Season

I'm all happy and singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Raindeer.

Why is that? It's because in mylife I always begin Christmas time on the 28 of October.

I will tell you why. In October we have four birthays: first my nephew, then one of my girls, then mine and in the end, on the 27, it's my uncle's.

So, till his birthday, it's not time for Christmas - well, officially, because I don't tell anyone that in September I'm already strolling in all the shopping sites I can looking for signs of that blessed season.

Anyway, now we arrived at Christmas time !! 🎄

So, what am I doing now?

Besides singing Rudolph on top of my lungs, I will make a list of presents - that I have already some bought since September it's a thing that nobody needs to know. 😄

I will go fetch all the wrapping papers left over from last year - oh joy  - and the ribbons and tags also. 

That way I can begin wrapping the already bought presents, which is an activity that I like so much, while listening on youtube to all the Christmas songs I can find, mainly the more vintage ones.

This one is my favourite for the wrapping activity: 

It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas 

Then I will beging thinking about the food for Christmas, the Eve and the Day. 

I will make a  list of the groceries, the cod, the meat, the potatoes, cabbage and pumpkin for the soups, the flower, sugar and all the trimmings for desserts - lots of them! 😀

(no, I never made these ones but who knows?)

And I will make a list too for the non perishables and non food related, like nice Chritmassy napkins and some more little decorations that I can't resist to buy every year. And I say little ones because I think I have enough decorations.

And another thing that I want to do is a good overall cleaning and I will make a list for it too.

What's more? Oh so many things to think and do. I feel like dancing.
