Tomorrow is Christmas Eve; oh how time flew by…
Victor and I will be spending Christmas with my side of the family this year. I guess we will be spending next year’s with his family in Welkom. We’ll see.
This Christmas is going to be uncomfortable because Victor and I can’t afford to buy any gifts. I bought a little something for my youngest sisters when I was last at Hillfox; so they’ll obviously be getting something. Victor already got his gifts because he just couldn’t wait till Christmas for them. He got a Magic: The Gathering deck and a few booster packs that I ordered a while back and got them the other day.
My cousin that was studying in the USA and is back in South Africa where she will be continuing her studies. She kindly accepted several items that I purchased at Amazon on my behalf as Amazon doesn’t ship those items to my location… And would give them to me when she came back to South Africa, which she did. I still want to give her a little something when I can as a little “Thank You” gift; even though she insists that I don’t have to.
I took photos of my little Christmas trees the other day and wanted to share them. One tree is in the lounge and one is on top of the cookie tin that is on top of our small refrigerator. My mother gave me the one in the lounge, along with a reindeer plush toy to add to my little Christmas area.

Anyway, I hope that all my website visitors a merry and joyful Christmas this year. May you get some lovely gifts and have a good time!


I’m in the same predicament. It’s like I want to get something for J and he wants to get something for me but I have bills and he has to get his car fixed.
Merry Christmas! I love your Christmas area.
Hope you have a great Xmas!
I was in a similar predicament this year with money being tight. It’s not the gifts that make for a good Christmas, though. It’s the ones you spend it with, and I’m glad you were able to spend time with your family and Victor.
Your Christmas area is adorable!
I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas! Cute trees. BTW, I love your header. nice quote.
I love the little Christmas area and the trees
No worries, my bf and I are buying and exchanging gifts after New Years for the same reasons. I hope you had a great holiday!
