I feel like I've been hit by a tornado of a year - but more about that later, because now we need to get in the Christmas spirit!
Because I have abandoned you for so long, I am going to make up for it by making a little Christmas post every day until Christmas.
I am almost finished my work for the year and then I get to relax and enjoy myself.
I would like to unwind with one of these....
What are you doing for the Christmas holidays?
I'm fantasising about going camping at Lennox Heads for a night or two and abandoning technology, or a Stradbroke Island day trip, finally making some home made ice cream and doing all of the projects that I haven't had time for this year. To be honest though, it will just be really nice to have a rest and do nothing, even if I just lay on the floor in the lounge room and watch DVDs every day.
Ok so we only have 5 more days until Christmas and this is my gift guide, incase you are still stuck for ideas!
