Luckily I could open a bit of this one right away - even though I did all the boring things before opening it, to make the pleasure longer!!
Inside the shiny black wrapping paper I found 2 pairs of Noa Noa socks. I LOVE Noa Noa socks, and my sister knows that! Having cold feet is definitely not an option in my life...
My brother in law gave me this beautiful wreath to hang on our frontdoor. I just find it very cozy when our guests, through December, are met by a wreath at our door.
In the afternoon we decorated our house for Christmas. It's always a moment of joy and a source of great pleasure to see our box of Christmas ornaments again. So many funny and wonderful things, which we almost forgot we had....
Of course we have lots and lots of candles at this time of year too. Candles - among many other things and feelings - are a perfect example of the cozyness I associate with Christmas.
Our pixies were put in good places, hearts were hung in our windows and these figurines look at us when ever we pass their way.
On his way to bed Emil peeked through the window, which we have between our kitchen and our livingroom....he also had a great day.
Lying in my bed I couldn't help smiling in the dark and feeling very blessed to have a family like mine.
I truely think that each one of them enrich my life immensely by being the persons they are.....to me that will always be the very best part of Christmas...
What pretty gifts and such a lovely wreath! Hope you have fun discovering the advent calendar over the next few weeks! :)

Tusind tak :0))) Jeg føler mig også umådelig heldig, Gitte. Min storesøster - og resten af min familie - er uundværlig i mit liv...jeg er utrolig stolt af hende. Hun er en enestående person.
Det var nogle vidunderlige overraskelser de kom med i går. Og mine nye sokker er allerede i brug. Nu gælder det bare om at have dem for sig selv ;0)
Hi Ulla,
ReplyDeleteHere in Holland our house is filling up with 'Zwarte Pietjes', little black Petes, helpers of Sinterklaas. He will be arriving on Friday, giving presents to all the Dutch children and mocky poems to the adults.
And I to feel so blessed having a great husband, and a lovely little boy, who finaly came into our life after so many years.
Greetings, Ria (oddwise).
