Peplums and Pineapples : christmas preparation.

so if you are like my family.. a really crazed christmas family, then i think this post is for you. We start a christmas celebration at the end of November. And i mean some people think this is crazy, but if you think about it - if you are prepared you are better organized and if you are better organized then you don't have to worry about anything, and when you don't have to worry about anything well... then you can probably enjoy your Christmas better.

Also being brought up in an OCD environment, everything is done a couple of weeks earlier, bedrooms cleaned (even thought they are spotless) and the christmas cake is baked 8 weeks earlier, to add the frightening amount of Rum into it. (But thats tradition)

The Christmas tree is put up mid or end of November, and al the decor and christmas music starts to play.

I don't know what it is about Christmas, but its that time of year that you feel everything is free and a lot of people are happy FOR ONE ANOTHER!! Which can be odd, but oh so nice at the same time. Family gets closer, snow starts to fall and the endless cups of hot chocolate are served.

Hows everyones christmas been so far?
I can't believe that its 3 days till the 25th!!
