Flower Seller on Old Bond St. 'Hello Deer'. |
Gosh, this year has flown! December is almost over and another Christmas evening is fading. I love the festive traditions of this season, celebrating family and friendships, exchanging gifts, writing cards -the 'old-fashioned' way, and yes, even traipsing down to the Post Office to pick-up parcels. My absolute favourite 'chrismassy' thing to do', is decorate the tree with my little one. I say 'little one' but he's now 8 years old, and will undoubtedly tower over me in the not-too-distant-future.
Deep sigh.
Another favourite from my Christmas
to do list, is to take a stroll through the old streets of London, Nobody does Christmas, quite like London. Methinks.
Well, okay, maybe NYC comes close, and I hear Iceland is pretty good. I love browsing through window displays in the rather glamourous stores, soaking up the atmosphere in the streets. There is always such a sense of excitement in the crowds. Did mention the pretty Christmas lights?
Tres sparkly.
This holiday break, I will mostly be horizontal on the sofa. It's a welcome reprieve after the manic rush in the lead-up to Christmas.
My feet and liver are grateful, let me tell you. From the comfort of plumped cushions, I can indulge a little reading, writing, and yes, possibly a few culinary treats!
How about you? If you are celebrating Christmas, I hope its a good one where ever you are.
Here's a few snaps from My December thus far, I hope you will enjoy.
Happy Christmas, Lovelies! And wishing everyone a fabulous 2014! XO

Here's to 2014! Cheers lovely!
You've made me come up with a resolution. Some year, I want to see what London does with Christmas!
Hopefully the new year is treating you well so far?
