I love Christmas. In fact, I would consider myself a Christmas nut. There is just something about this time of year that makes me giddy.
This year, I am in Toronto so I am especially looking forward to heading home for the holidays. In the meantime I am keeping myself busy with shopping, wrapping, baking and decorating. My once pastel apartment is full of greens and reds, and I love it.
My Christmas tree is extra special – it belonged to my great nana. I spruced up its Charlie Brownness with vintage clip-on earrings and broaches I’ve collected throughout the years. It is perfect.
Last weekend, I hosted a very Christmassy dinner for a few of my favourite TO friends. It was my first time making a tofurkey and all the fixings. While I could definitely live without the tofurkey I think it was a great success!
Now that I have my very own place, I am making new traditions and holding on to the ones that are near and dear. Most of all, I am looking forward to spending time with family and friends.
However you celebrate, I hope you have a very happy holiday season, and a prosperous 2011.
