We have almost a full week of festivities this year:

December 25, Wednesday Christmas + December 26 is also Saint Stephen’s Day; Friday to recuperate, and prepare for the weekend. Then a couples of days to sit down and plan the new year coming up.

Now it is the time to get ready for Xmas with:

A Xmas tree 🌲 (but without cutting down a live one);

The Xmas tree ornaments (possibly color-coded);

House with the right amount of decorations (not too cheap, but chic and recyclable);

A Christmas wreath for the door (Possibly Handmade);

A (ideally homemade) centerpiece with candles;

A beautifully table setting (with the best China, maybe cleverly mismatched);

Last minutes shopping (just to see once more the glitz, windows decorations, and the city lights);

The good smell from baking sweet things;

The perfect Xmas menu 🍗 (not too rich, low in calories, carbs and gluten);

The freshest Panettone (and a pandoro for the ones that don’t like the candies and raisins);

A thought for everyone in (perfectly wrapped) presents 🎁 ;

Well chosen music 🎶 for the mood (not the obsessive carols);

A glass of Prosecco 🍾🥂(served at the perfect temperature)

Let’s the festivities begin!

Happy holidays
