Advent begins!

Elfilis

It’s that time of year again! Advent has begun! Christmas is coming, the decorations and lights are all thinking away and everything has gone all cozy! 

Anyone else excited for Christmas? What’s on your Christmas list? How will you spend Christmas? 

For me I get a little mini Christmas as my birthday is during advent so when I get my presents I put them under the tree as well.

  • I love the planning - I add something or buy something every few days, culminating in lifting my tree from its outside pot and decorating it. I read all Charles Dickens Christmas books (I have a lovely facsimile illustrated version) - finishing with 'A Christmas Carol' on Christmas Eve, day and Boxing Day. I've bought 2 new art books - Anthony Gormley and Turner's early drawings. I'll also watch my Morse and Sherlock Holmes [Jeremy Brett version] DVD's. Eat and drink of course, having cooked everything beforehand and put it in the freezer.

    You sound more organised than me! I always wing it because for me if I make plans, they never go to plan and I get in real distress. Me and mum are planning to go to Liverpool on Friday and see the Christmas markets and hopefully get more stuff there (and hopefully some birthday shopping) but I’m worried something will stop us from doing so. As for Christmas I’ll probably watch some SpongeBob Christmas episodes and maybe some Simpsons Christmas episodes as well! Will also hopefully be doing Toy Day on acnh on Christmas Eve as well!

    Once Boxing Day comes it’s like a bunch of depressing few days until New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day but when the 2 Jan comes it’s all boring lol

    I love Sherlock Holmes. I like the black and white films with Basil Rsthbone in.

    I went to a Unitarian church yesterday for the first time. They are doing a reading of a Christmas Carol on Thursday evening. I am very tempted to go but it's in the city at night and I'd have to catch a tram home. I'm going to think about it...
