I feel a bit silly calling this post Christmas “planning” like all the others because – thanks to the Flylady – all my prep for Crimbo is actually done! Ha! Our greetings cards were posted on 30 November. (Almost) all the presents are bought and wrapped (or ordered online). And…we’ve all just had haircuts! ;D

So – instead of telling you all that I’ve done or need to do – I thought I’d let you have a peek into what I’ve been able to enjoy since the 1st of December!

Put together some cookie dough…baked one portion and put three logs in the freezer, which I can pull out/slice/bake when we have friends over 🙂

Made sweets with the kids…

My friend H and I went to an exhibition of Danish Christmas decorations by Jette Frölich (and had gløgg and æbleskiver in the café afterwards)
Enjoyed a lovely Xmas lunch with my winterbathing friend V

Nice! And especially nice to be able to enjoy it all without rushing around and getting stressed. This week it’s full swing over at school where we’ll be partaking in the Lucia Procession/Concert, Xmas Bingo, Breakfast and Decoration-making with DD9’s class…

Phew! Thank goodness for my Flylady Holiday Control Journal and pampering! ;D
Have a marvelous Monday! 🙂
