What I want for Christmas #blogsecretsanta

You know it is near the end of the year...

when...

- The Student is back home, finished with writing her exams. I am exhaling with her! It has been a tough year!

- The Toddler is busy with assessments at pre-primary, and not so keen going every day.

- The concert is done and dusted.

- The ballet concert is a few movie clips on my phone!

- The tiny gymnastics end-of-year is happening on Saturday.

- We are seeing Christmas decorations everywhere, but I think I will leave our own Christmas decorations for December. (It feels like it has been put up very early this year?)

- We are all beginning to look forward to the holidays, especially since we now have our own holiday to look forward to. I usually feel that holidays at home does not feel like holidays.

- I have compiled my list: What I want for Christmas. It is the first time I had drawn up a list so far in advance, thanks to Blogger Secret Santa by Stiletto Mum.

- I am beginning to contemplate my goals for next year. One of the main goals is looking at studying again. A lecturer told me to contemplate doing a longitudal study with my Masters that I did not finish. As I hate not completing it, it is something really worth considering!

- It is great weather for swimming here! (Sorry, Northern Hemisphere!)

 

I love this time of the year!

 

What are you planning for December?

Do you also like this time of the year?

What I want for Christmas! #blogsecretsanta

The Christmas feeling is not here yet, and it seems that everybody feels a bit run-down at this point in time...

That's why I think that joining in with the following initiative is a great way to step into some festive spirit.

Especially since thinking about spoiling yourself are usually the last thing on your mind...

Charlotte at Stiletto Mum is linking all up for Blogger Secret Santa. She is aiming for 100 participants this year! Names should be in by 16 November and presents should be in the region of R100.

I am also in, as I have enjoyed Robin's blog book swop (The Book Club Blog) so much.

List of things I would love to get for Christmas:

• Funky hats;
• Kindle gift vouchers/ books;
• Bath goodies, such as bubble bath and soaps;
• Chocolate, the darker, the better;
• Funky watch;
• Scarves;
• Hair accessories;
• Red wine;
• Cute notebooks;
• iPad cover;
• "Words", such as "Peace", "Love", "Dream", "Play", "Laugh", "Happy", etc.

• Bling;
• Anything from Poetry;
• Gift vouchers for manicures/pedicures;
• Gift vouchers for massages
• Kodak Inkjet printer
• Kodak canvas print

(Oh, and no kitchen gadgets or anything kitchen related ;-))



Who is also joining at Stiletto Mum?
