The prelude to Christmas, for me, is just as magical as Christmas Day itself, perhaps more so. The anticipation of Christmas Day used to send me into a frenzy as I longed for it all throughout December. The magic, the togetherness, giving and receiving gifts, the indulgent foods, excitement and the sense of contentment - all of these things and more made me feel like bursting full of joy and gingerbread! Now I savour every day before Christmas. The first rule in The Code of Elves (according to the movie Elf) is 'Treat every day like Christmas', and I do strive to do that, even after the festive season is over! But right now we are lucky, as it is still early December, and we have a lot of merriment to enjoy with magical times ahead.
This week I will be seeing my niece's school nativity play, writing all of my Christmas cards, watching some seasonal movies with my family and friends and going for my first Christmas meal of the year with my roller derby teammates. I will also be listening exclusively to my Christmas CDs and singing Jingle Bells in the shower whenever I can!
