'tis the season...

Sat Dec 23, 2006, 2:44 AM
And it's that time of the year again (refer to webcam), so I wish you all a great Christmas and New Year's, wherever you are, whatever you may be doing. :)
Currently, 24 hour shopping is on, and I'm tossing whether to go or not :P But hope everyone gets to have a happy break and holiday, lots of food and drink and drink...

I can't believe it's Christmas already. I feel like I just finished uni for the year (back in November) but here I am, once again at the end of a year. I got my first Christmas presents today! :w00t: It was from the guys at work, since I'm not going to see them till after the holidays, buuuut it's always good to be receiving presents!

Meanwhile, I have a bavarian strudel to make and I hope it turns out well. (Well, we since Kris is in it too!) Hehe, this is going to be interesting! Not implying we can't cook, just never made bavarian strudel before so I hope it all goes to plan.

Sorry for the stunt in photos, I know I said I'd get back to it all after uni, but I've been trying to reorganise my room to the way I want it (it's not working thus far) and reading addictive books. The weather has been evil too, especially with the bushfires, the whole city was covered in smog. But! I will be out with my camera soon, it needs a bit of a workout.

Addictive books are evil. Yet so, so good.

I went cherry picking on Wednesday too, it was an hour's drive away into the Dandenong Ranges but it was fun, and the cherries were so big and sweet. We managed to pick 6kg of it :| and now the house is inundated with cherries. We would've probably got more if it wasn't so hot that day.

And now, it's cold!

I should've made gingerbread men this year. Hmph. I remember the year I put together a hamper... I should do that again, just for the fun of it. A new year's hamper since I'm too late to a Christmas one already. :P

Anyhow.

Merry Christmas everyone! :holly:

My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night
But ah my foes and oh my friends
It gives a lovely light

Yoo hoo! Do tell how the Strudel turned out -I know Kris has had some experience in German baking with his pretzels.
I also got into the whole baking thing this year -didn't get around to decorating most of the cookies so we still have about 500000 boxes of icing sugar hanging about the flat (they don't sell them in boxes > 250g) and about as many undecorated, uneaten cookies. Gingerbread only tastes half as good when they have icing.
What did you do over the silly season? Take many photos? And have you decided what to do for the rest of the holidays?
