With Thanksgiving past and Christmas soon to follow, Christmas-y things have been happening around here. Christmas music is now acceptable (to most) and decorations have been taken out of storage. I myself have been in the mood for some classic Christmas movies (already)! I don't know what's so different this year, but I'm ready for the holiday season plenty early this time. I am already missing home for Christmas, but know I'll be there next year! 

I happened upon these brown present-tags a few weeks ago and felt a little inspired. I don't have loads of presents to decorate and tag, but had to make some I can send in a card anyway. I'll be posting a photo of each: one-a-day. I already know who is receiving which...is Christmas here yet?

A Day Off - Saturday.

Today was a "1/2 Day" of work for me. I always love Saturdays, mostly because we have Brunch on Saturdays: a Full English Breakfast. Complete with: bacon, hashbrowns, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, eggs, yogurt, fruit, toast, and cereal. Did you know breakfast is my favorite meal? So Brunch is a never-miss Saturday affair.

After working for the morning, I had the day as my own. That's so nice. I couldn't decide what I wanted to do today: nothing, veg, watch a movie, take a nap, crotchet, research, read, pinterest, or all of the above. The day sure does fly when you're having fun. So I decided...
Come January, I have the privilege of using my two-week Holiday. I will be going to London and Ireland. I've been London three times previously, so I know the goods and what needs to be visited, but Ireland (Dublin) is all new to me. So today was a research day. Days like this, I'm really thankful for this thing called, the internet. I am officially even more excited for January to arrive, if that's even possible. Besides exploring Dublin, I have found two places that have been starred as a, "Must Do!". One is a Day Tour to the Cliffs of Moher. Please look them up on Google. Oh I am excited. The other, is a place called Powerscourt Estate. Visit the website to check it out and name that movie (one of my favorites), that filmed at this Estate. Tonight I will be attending the Orchestra with other staff members. I'm real excited about going and doing something different. I'm sure I will be blown away.

Of course, did some browsing and pinning.

In an upcoming post, I will be describing a detailed 'typical day' for me here at Capernwray. So be on the look out for that!

In other news, I received a parcel today. I cannot express the joy the contents have brought my heart, tongue, and tummy. 

Parcel Goodness!!!
