I cannot believe how quickly this year has gone and that Christmas will be upon us soon; it literally feels like yesterday when I dropped my best friend and her son off last year at the airport after a fabulous fun filled Christmas.
I love Christmas, literally everything about it, I love how everyone is happy and having fun. Christmas dinner prep takes a couple of days and I love it! This year we're actually going to our friends for Christmas and whilst I am sure it will be lovely, not being the host is going to kill me! We are going to do our own Christmas on the 27th so that will be good, though I loved everyone being here last year.
My fab Aussie friends came round yesterday for Sunday lunch, they were surprised when they arrived and I was prepping a full on roast, they said they were expecting little snacks pfft, not in this house, when I invite people round for food, I go all out! We had roast Pork with yummy roast potatoes that were doused in Duck fat rendered from a previous dinner of Peking Duck.
Silly me thought, it wouldn't be a late one but no, a few bottles of wine later and a trip to the shop to replen and a surprise bottle of Gin and we're all dancing around the living room to all sorts of music! I woke up today with a headache and a kitchen that looked like it was Christmas day!
We're off to Chicago this Thursday and are mad excited about it, if only we could take Eric with us. I'm looking forward to writing about our adventures on my return.
