Christmas is here...

Ohh Christmas is here, and I'm a bit excited, almost like when I was a kid. The snow is still here, though starting to melt, but its a white Christmas:)

We are spending Christmas eve at my husbands parents together with his sister. We take turns spending Christmas at my parents and at his parents, I think its the 3rd time we are spending it at his parents, and this time I'm more excited about it than usual, I must be getting older and more mature... but lets face it, Christmas at mum and dads are just a tiny bit better;)

So tonight we are at his parents, with the big dinner and all the presents, and tomorrow we are going to my parents for a few days, and more presents waiting, because I haven't been able to meet up with my brother before Christmas, so their presents are waiting tomorrow.

And then on Sunday I'll be back to work, and taking back all the things people have been given, and they don't want, need, fits or have got several of, somehow by then the real joy of Christmas has gone...

Well until when I'm going to enjoy a White Christmas, with carols, candy and presents, yeah... Merry Christmas everybody...

Christmas is so close...

I can't believe that Christmas is so close... I haven't completely gotten into the spirit of Christmas yet, though the snow we have been getting over the past 5 days have helped. Though I can't remember when we last had snow for Christmas in Denmark, so in some way I would like it to stay till Christmas, but I would also like a bit warmer weather, go global warming! The past 2 weeks have gone by so fast, I have finished my Christmas shopping, and that might be good because it looks like I will be working a lot the next 3 days, and have been working a lot the past 1 weeks.
I had Monday off this week, though I didn't do much, since I had been working late Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and went to a Christmas get together with some former colleagues on Sunday night, which I really enjoyed. So on Monday I was sleeping till 10.30 and went to the gym, which was a bit surreal, first there was only 4 others there, and these 4 were all over the age of 60, and talking about their grand kids. So I just kept to myself, finished my training, a bit faster than normal, and went home. The rest of the day I spent wrapping my presents and taking care of the sofa and the TV, they had missed me much that weekend:)
Though nothing much have been on TV the past 2 weeks, well not that the screen have been black, but I think about 80% of what was shown on the main 2 Danish channels have been about the COP15, all the talk about global warming just got enough, they had a journalist in the airport looking out for Air Force One and Obama, but lets face its not all that interesting.
In hope of getting in the Christmas spirit within the next 3 days, I wish you all a merry Christmas...

I have a long week ahead of me...

Another weekend is coming to an end, and I feel like I haven't got any time to rest, but that might partly be my own fault. I went on a weekend trip with a brass band I used to play in growing up, we had a theme weekend, the theme being "memory lane". We were quite a few people, some that I haven't seen for 8-10 years, and we had the best time, playing some old tunes, talking about the good old days, and of course partying like the good old days, but the partying also means less sleep. So I'm off to bed a bit early today, and I can hardly bare thinking about the week to come, I have to work all next weekend, so the first possible day off will be next Monday or Tuesday, so 7 or 8 days before I'm able to sleep in...
I had a day off this week, and started my Christmas shopping, and by now I only need 2 more gifts before finishing, that's really a joy to think about, especially when I hear people complaining they haven't started yet.
Well I'm off to bed...
