Waiting for Christmas ...


Well, it seems impossible to me, (!) but next Wednesday it will be the Christmas eve again ...


I am out for the last presents, as this year I am definitely late!


There are so many other things I have yet to do! In fact I will also be the host of the Eve dinner ... ( you have read well, that sounds incredible also to me! But as the ancient Romans said : semel in anno licet insanire!! )


I have decorated my home for enjoying a pleasant atmosphere,



I have chosen a sparkling bracelet, 


Now I  just have to buy  some delicious food...


... and wish you all the best as well as the sweetest Christmas day!


P.s. the Roman saying in English means: once a year you can do something really crazy!

  2. I just love your coat!!! And I think you need to start doing something crazy a bit more often than once a year. Maybe once a month? Merry Christmas!

    1. Luckily my husband is the one in charge of getting the tree up, so I don't have to worry about it! :-)
      A Christmas tree fills the home with joy, I am sure that yours is very pretty!
      Merry Christmas to you too, Jessica...

  5. Even though I think it is a beautiful coat, I want to se that dress in FULL, not just you sitting down. I think it is a fantastic dress. Fit for a party but also for being beautifully dressed during the day. Something you do so well.
    I am so glad I am not a host during Christmas hahaha. If I would be, I would go straight to the caterer.
    Have a lovely Christmas Dan. And thanks for the "card"...

    1. You are completely right about the dress! It is not visible in the photo...so I will dedicate to it a post soon! It is a nice dress ( which I bought at the MM outlet of course :-)

      P.s.
      Glad to know that you liked my "wishes" ... ( I am feeling like a sort of James Bond who is speaking in a secret code! ) :-)

      Merry Christmas to you too, dear Greetje...

    1. Thanks, Suzanne! I will need a lot of luck for the dinner, for many reasons...( I am a poor cook, have a tiny house, will be working until the very last time ... ) but, as the meaning of Christmas is spending the day in joy with my dears ... well, I think I am quite on the safe side!!
      Best wishes to you too!
