Oh ho ho ho

I have been feeling Christmassy and had an urge to make eggnog and gluvine until I looked up a receipe for eggnog. Oh boy that wouldn't be good. So many eggs, so much sugar. I was obviously in a self controlled mood as i didn't print off the receipe or write it down and I haven't bought a box in the supermarket either. Last Christmas my hubby and I drank so much eggnog. This year I may make some Christmas eve. I'll have to burn off a bit before then so I don't feel so bad. But then again it's Christmas and enjoying many a special treat prevails.

As for the gluvine, I know it is easy to make but I haven't made it for years. I also saw some in ALdi but haven't seen it the past few weeks. May be another closer to Christmas treat.

My little man is enjoying the Christmas lights this year and taking interest in the tree. He was so unsure to begin with. I am looking forward to celebrating over the rest of this period.

I was disappointed when the carols we usually go to were cancelled this year due to bad weather. I was looking forward to staying for the candles and fireworks. The last few years e have had to leave early because my son was on oxygen. It was such a stress when kids started running around with lit candles. Oxygen and flame mix too well. We didn't really want the night to go off with a bang!! This year he isn't on oxygen during waking hours so we could have stayed. Oh well, next year or we could find elsewhere to go if we really want to.

As for lack of posting- Washing, dishes and nannanaps have prevailed! I felt my computer time was taking over general day to day necessities. But time for a bit of an update.
