Table Mountain laser cut card from Skinny LaMinx |
Ha. ha.
At the moment, I am feeling anything but in the mood for the holidays.
I've put up the tree, finished the present shopping and done the wrapping. But this year, it all feels more like items that have to be ticked of a 'to-do' list than activities that I actually want to do.
This might have something to do with the fact that I still have my busiest work week this year lying ahead of me (starting this evening. blah). Bad timing, but we need the money for the SOS fund next year (Save Our Sanity once the twins arrive), so I have no choice. Add the fact that we are going away next week for a 10-day break to Cape Town. And coming home the day before Christmas Eve. What was I thinking agreeing to those dates?? So no time for mince pie making and getting into the festive mood. Christmas Eve for me will consist of unpacking suitcases and doing laundry. Yipee.
We are going to Cape Town to attend a friend's wedding, but it will also be Lilia's first time there. So I'm quite looking forward to taking her to see Table Mountain and to the beach to dip her toes in the icy Atlantic Ocean. Although there will be no wine farm touring for old preggy me this year, boo hoo.
So here's wishing you and yours a lovely December break, whether it's sunny and beach-y or consists of roaring log fires and mistletoe.
