Can’t believe how fast the time goes! It was only a while ago when I thought to myself that Christmas is so far away, and now tomorrow’s already the Christmas Eve!! I came to my old home yesterday and my brother too, so now all of our family is here. These last few days I’ve been doing all kinds of preparations, the time before Christmas is almost as fun as the actual Christmas Eve.
Are you guys ready for Christmas yet, and done all the preparations? Here’s some that I’ve been doing:
Vaikea uskoa miten nopeasta aika menee! Siitä on vain hetki kun itsekseni mietin, että joulu on vielä niin kaukana. Ja nyt huomenna jo aatto?! Tulin vanhaan kotiini Espooseen eilen, veljeni myös, eli vietetään koko perhe täällä joulua. Viime päivät oon tehnyt kaikenlaisia järjestelyjä, joulua edeltävä odotus on yhtä hauskaa kuin itse joulu!
Oletteko te jo valmiina, kaikki järjestelyt tehtyinä? Tässä jotain mun puuhailuja:
♥ Burning candles
♥ Kynttilöiden polttaminen
♥ Baking cookies
♥ Piparien leipominen
♥ Decorating them with lots of candies and frostings (the more the better)
♥ Ja koristelu, mitä enemmän karkkeja ja kuorrutetta sitä parempi
♥ Watching Christmas movies, here Love Actually. Love this movie, and especially this scene. Anyone else?
♥ Joululeffojen katselu, tässä Love Actually. Ehkä ihanin leffa, ja ihanin kohtaus. ^
♥ Wrapping christmas presents (and making cards for them)
♥ Lahjojen paketointi (ja korttien teko)
Here’s one I gave for Alexa!
Tämä paketti lähti Alexalle!
Right now I’m drinking glogg and watching how my dad is trying to make the Christmas tree stand straight haha, I probably need to go help him… Then decorating the tree and later sauna and just relaxing. Tomorrow’s a long day! If I have time I’ll come wish this again tomorrow, but just incase: Merry Christmas to all my wonderful readers there! :-*
Nyt just hörpin glögiä, kirjoittelen tätä ja seuraan sivusilmällä kun isä yrittää suoristaa joulukuusta. Haha ei tosta tuu mitään, taidan mennä auttamaan, sitten koristelu, myöhemmin saunaan ja rentoilua vain. Huomenna on pitkä päivä! Jos ehdin tulen vielä toivottamaan tänne huomennakin tämän, mutta varmuuden vuoksi jo nyt: ihanaa joulua teille kaikille! :-*

Olya says
Mariannan, please give a recipe…(
marianna says
It was a ready to bake -dough, it’s a tradition in Finland to bake those kind of cookies, some make the dough themselves but I think those ready ones are even more popular… 🙂
Olya says
Thanks for the answer! )
Rebecca says
There is absolutely NO better movie than “Love Actually” to watch during christmas time. I also LOVE this scene (and almost cry everytime I watch it ;)).
Hope you spend amazing christmas days at home with your family.
Love, B.
