Christmas feeling...or not

It was not easy to get him to pose in front of the tree...
The tree is up unusually early this year. It was pretty drama-less for a change.
I am not big on Christmas things...but at least pretty lights make the house a bit more cheerful!

Too big
 I try to keep busy. I cook a lot. I have made Xmas pancakes (recipe here), banana bread, I tried a new butternut recipe - butternut squash with cuscus, oyster mushrooms, parsnip, the recipe called for nuts but I forgot - entirely and accidentally all vegan :) It was nice but way too much.

Sugarpill makeup
I haven't written my Holidays cards yet, not sure I will. Have only bought one present (for mom)...unless you count this Sugarpill + Little Twin Star makeup set I got for myself  on Cyber Monday (but haven't opened yet). I love that brand as it is vegan and cruelty free, and pretty good quality too (unlike most cruelty free, cheap,  makeup I usually get).
I am SUPER ready for the new year... (especially since we get a new Doctor Who episode on January 1st too).

Haha! I had to laugh at the Doctor Who bit that gets you excited for the new year :)
Cute tree! We are setting ours up this week-end. But I love xmas, I thing of it as winter fest and it's my favorite :) A bit like halloween is for you!

Our tree is still not up... Hoping to fix it during this weekend. I love New Years but not Christmas, too much stress for my liking with everything that has to be done before the actual celebration... but I do love all the decorations and the holiday-feeling they give you :)

In Turkey we don't notice Christmas but now in the US with lots of houses decorated I do have a Jolly feeling :) I hope the New Year does bring you other joy besides Doctor Who!

I love the festive jolly Christmas vibes. Especially the Christmas markets with all kinds of small treats:)
