Christmas kicked off on Christmas Eve when we celebrated Finnish xmas at home with S. It was such a treat to be able to watch Santa’s Hotline via the miracle of the interwebs. For my generation of Finns listening to little kids phoning Santa, trying to impress him at the last minute, and make sure he’ll find the right address, is a pretty integral part of getting xmas started. And of course then there’s The Snowman, a true sign that yet another year has passed and Christmas is here.

In a fairly non-traditional fashion, I had pancakes and hot chocolate for breakfast.

On Christmas Day we headed to Essex for the English onslaught of xmas traditions. This lasted for two days, and included two different turkeys.

Such happy Christmassy faces… 😀

Certain someone got an air drums set for Christmas. Much hilarity ensued.

And finally, here’s my loot. I must have been a fairly good girl this year!
