Due to the fact that I will be overseas enjoying a white Christmas, I have started the Christmas traditions here so that I can have the best of both hemispheres!
My sister and I set up the Christmas tree yesterday while listening to Christmas Carols (Celtic Woman 'A Christmas Celebration' is my all time favourite Christmas CD), and over today and yesterday, I have had my first attempt at a gingerbread house with many mishaps along the way! It's safe to say that you should be glad I am not looking for a career in engineering, architecture, building or design as my house is rather disproportional, crooked and the walls required a great deal of icing to adhere them together! It was a lot of fun though and hopefully next year's one will be more successful!
It was certainly a culinary adventure with many hours of frustration, a sticky mess (the icing is like cement!), vain attempts to keep my brother away from the kitchen bench and a whole lot of silliness, laughter and Christmas carols in the background!
