It's kinda strange, having grown up in Norway.

I've always thought that snow and wintery weather seem to suit Christmas better when staying indoors opening gifts with family and having a meal together would provide perfect opportunities to do so. But I guess, outdoor barbecues and fun are equally Christmassy in these parts. Our Christmas is very much like Steph's above - baking, crafting, gift choosing and making and wrapping etc.... all centered around family and loved ones xAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14697932926715802541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2871300943228442802.post-54036612193932465952012-12-03T23:53:15.981+11:002012-12-03T23:53:15.981+11:00oooh they are gorgeous Vanessa! the lacy ones- jus...oooh they are gorgeous Vanessa! the lacy ones- just lay a doily over the top of your rolled out clay and gently roll over the top with the rolling pin. Peel away the doily, oooh pretty. Christmas is a dusk swim on Christmas eve, walking home from mass with my mum pointing out the reindeer in the sky, summer pjs, cicadas, pine tree smell, tacky glittery decorations, waking up in the middle of the night to gaze at the lights on the tree, racing out into to street to show and share gifts with the neighbor kids, jumping in the car after breakfast for a full day of visiting, arriving home fast asleep. not sure if that reflected my very suburban aussie childhood environment? One year we did get spray snow in a can. that was the best. these days, the sea is featuring more heavily. christmas morning is for a beach swim, with or without a santa hat. feast cooked on the bbq. simple handmade gifts. gathering. hubs really wants a white christmas, but i fear i would miss the heat- i can't even comprehend the different season. and besides, santa comes here first. ;)sarah (the other, not so cool and talented one)sascedarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14851709906766532130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2871300943228442802.post-50343285052449288452012-12-03T22:20:48.103+11:002012-12-03T22:20:48.103+11:00These are so beautiful!

PS My son...These are so beautiful! Do a giveaway ;)<br />PS My song 'winterman' made it onto the new ABC Christmas album, ha!

It sometimes does fell a bit hard to be festive when you're sweating madly in the humidity. Your christmas decorations look so very lovely! Christmas is similar here...simple crafty projects, baking and pottering around. Gift giving is kept low key and there's alot of talk about those less fortunate. I think Bijou is old enough for a toy cull to donate to charity. WIshing you the loveliest of week. Keep cool :) xSteph @ this brown wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06995522877057753122noreply@blogger.com
