stocking time

so, soon it will be time to hang for john and i to hang our stockings by the fire with care..

well, actually, it will be mum and mark and john and i. and it will be in an apartment in paris, so there will likely not be any fire. oh, and probably we won't do it with much care, i foresee a lot of wine on christmas eve (i'm clarvoiant you see)...

today i went stocking stuffer shopping, and although i hate shopping, man i love getting stocking stuffers. and this year there was an added challenge, because i needed to make sure that everything was able to be consumed right away, cheap enough to enjoy for the day and then leave behind in the apartment, or useful enough to actually want to bother carrying back on the train. it was fun to add that little element in there. man, i love getting stocking stuffers for my mum. i could just get bags and bags of stuff, just for her. *sigh* it's sooo exciting to be able to stuff her stocking again this year. of course she and john both read this blog, so no, i won't be outlining any of my exciting finds.

also, just for fun, i bought us all stockings. they were at a dollar store. so we'll have actual stockings that we can just leave behind. fun fun fun!

i can't believe we leave in a week. hmmm. maybe i should do something about arranging transportation to the airport. hey kate...
