Not long to go now!!!! How are all your Christmas preparations coming along? I've only bought one present so far and sent out my non-UK Christmas cards!I think I'm way behind everybody else! lol We are finally putting our decorations up this weekend and I'll be sending out the rest of my cards, so I'm slowly catching up!! ;D

Well, yesterday I just learned that a friend of mine won't have ... let us say, any Christmas this year. She lost her job, now has a lot of private trouble ... so I think I will send her something - but still don't know what ... Besides that, decoration is up since last week, presents - bought the last one today (besides that mentioned friend), and over here cards will traditionally send in the week before Christmas, so I'm in time - I think.

It's horrible not having a job at Christmas. I remember it well!! I hope she has better luck in the New Year.
I've now got as far as putting up the little tree in my room, which one of my cats is constantly trying to eat!!

Yep, unfortunately I know that too . But personally I think it's more that she is going to stay all alone during the holidays which is more terrifying. I know that for myself, I really have to fight myself every year - and I AM a Christmas-type. But staying all alone is ... not so good. Oh, cute! My old cat always wanted to climb my tree and he ... loved my straw-stars. Fortunately my "new" cat isn't that interested in the decorations - well, as long as she has enough to eat

Yeah, we have a cat like that, too!! I guarantee we'll be constantly re-decorating the tree until Christmas is over!! lol

I was jobless last year and my mum was in the middle of the chemo. It was depressing. I am on a sick leave, which is not much better. I hope the doctor will send me to work tomorrow. I don ´t really feel Christmas this year because I moved into my own place. I am not going to buy some decorations because I can barely make a space for things I have now But I bought gifts to my parents and my grandmum so I am done. I have to go to help my mum next weekend to at least decorate a Christmas tree.

Hope you feeling Christmassy now, Klentotka!! It's Christmas Eve tomorrow!! ;D All my presents are bought (but not wrapped yet!), decorations are up and we have most of our Christmas food in now, just got to get the meat and veg tomorrow. I don't know what the supermarkets are like in your respective countries but over here today ours were a NIGHTMARE!!! Queues were horrendous......even the queues of cars just getting in and out of the car park!
