Tis the season to be jolly!

Monday marks the start of my 8 day work week ending Christmas day. Boo!

Walking into work today bleary eyed and grumbling to myself about how wrong it feels to be at work at 7:30am on my RDO (rostered day off)-admittedly I'm a sook; when I came across a parcel that'd arrived late yesterday afternoon...




It was my KK gift!

GH Montego Bay Candle and PA nightgown

Thank you KK! How adorable is the kitty nightgown?? Coincidentally, the candle box matches my bedsheets quite well. Bonus!

I had finally had the chance to light my Rio De Janerio last night and can't wait to try out my Montego Bay candle. I think I'll light it on Thursday because I know I'll need a pick-me-up on Thursday night.

PS. If you're reading this KK, I gave Ninja some Christmas hugs on your behalf. He really enjoyed playing with the cute Santa wrapping paper. Happiness all around in the household!

Today I was given a last minute (V forgot to tell me) invite to a Christmas dinner tomorrow at a friend's house. The host had said not to bring anything, but etiquette dictates that I should never go empty handed. Keeping with the Christmas theme and last minute grocery shopping (found out at 2pm in the afternoon and going to dinner straight from work tomorrow) I decided that a White Christmas would be the easiest thing to whip up on the side while cooking dinner tonight.

Unfortunately I forgot to purchase some cupcake paper cups so I had to make two large spreads of it which I'm regretting now as it's not that easy to cut!

I'm not keen on dried fruits, particularly glace cherries (fresh cherries are the best!) so I replaced the dried fruit in the recipe with..mars bar. Hey, it was going to be unhealthy anyway given that there is 250g of Copha involved, I figured that the mars bar wasn't going to make it much more unhealthy.
It was disgustingly delicious.

Does everyone have the holidays off?
