My Little Nest

Happy Yule everybuddy!

Mine has been...tiring...so far. The kids are running around begging for presents, everyone else is binging on sweet bread, honey cakes and cookies while constantly offering me some.

I have a love/hate relationship with holiday foods. Add to this the fact that I'm trying to get everything set up for tonight and you have a very cranky me.

Bad news? I have to wait until Sunday to open my pressies just because the bloody preacher might be coming over Sunday afternoon!

Pppbbttt on the stupid 'wait until Sunday' rule. Everyone else gets to open their pressies tonight!

Oh goodie. The ickle kiddies are leaving. Maybe now I can get some prep work done.

I really have to remember to call my chovihnni tonight. I keep forgetting and the 18th was her 82nd birthday.

It's so rare that I get good pictures of my Romany family. I just had to share :)
