Only 5 days and then it is december! And on sunday although it is still november, it is the first sunday of advent so I can put up my brand new xmas star and candles and listen to xmas music and make Gløgg. I might even sneak off to Ikea to by some pepperkaker (ginger cookies) yum yum. And I'll make xmas cards.
I do this ever year. I have so much stuff I want to do in December, christmassy stuff like baking and candles and workshop and decorating. For me christmas is all of december and it sort of ends on the 25th when there is no more stuff to DO, only eating and vegging out on the sofa.
But I love this feeling of anticipation and the christmas three and finding gifts and...It is not stressful at all. It will only cause stress if it becomes an obligation. A chore. And since the only one in this household that has any expectation whatsoever is me, well, I am easy to please. Ikea-pepperkaker and a advent light in the window.
