snow, snow, snow!

❅ london's totally snowed under and its so pretty! much better than the usual gray gloomy wretchedness... i'm so hoping for a white christmas!

while trekking through the snow on my way to belly dance class, 3 young boys in the park attacked me with snowballs. one hit me in the head and i was so outraged and furious that i cursed at them, then had to calm myself down, remembering what an evil brat i'd been at their age...

jerry and i ventured to ikea today, way out in the suburbs, to stock up on swedish goodies for christmas lunch; the salmon and the dill sauces, lingonberry, swedish meatballs, marabou chocolate and my favourite; pepparkakor (gingerbread snapps)... for some reason they didnt have any glög (the warm spiced wine) so tomorrow we have to make a trip to the swedish shop for that.

we're spending christmas day with my uncle, aunt and cousins, (who happen to be stuck at a swedish airport because of the snow!) but since christmas for jerry is the 24th, he insisted we celebrate that as well, so we're heading to our our friends angela and nelson's house for a christmas eve feast with board games... some people are too cool for board games and i'm so glad angela and nelson are not because i adore playing board games! i've counted down more than one new year in the middle of a heated game of monopoly, trivial pursuit or balderdash... seriously! ....i'm actually quite fiercely competetive when it comes to such games, but i'll try to control my demons this time since its christmas, just to keep the spirit ;o)
