Staying home with the family and my brother is coming to town!!!
Would love to see some snow this year but doubt it's going to happen.
I've only ever spent one year away from home at christmas in my 42 years.
That one year was when I lived in Pittsburgh and couldn't make it home , I spent the day on the phone with old friend and ended up in a little mom and pop pub singing karaoke and drinking to make merry of a somewhat dismal christmas.

There's a video of Bray Christmas lights (I shot it yesterday as we were driving down Bray Main Street & turning to Quinsboro Road..) :)

We're spending this Christmas at home. I'll be decorating the house this weekend as Sunday is the first Advent.

I would also enjoy seeing ones of your dinner table (of course after Christmas). I really love to see how others celebrate Christmas...the decorations, what they eat, etc. :)

The food will probably be more or less like last Christmas;

But this year we have a new table, so the pics will look a bit different :nerdy:

Today is St. Lucy's day, and there's a Lucia procession in Helsinki. You can read more about it, here :)

My mam went to see it, but the weather wasn't the nicest..

I found the short Lucia video on youtube :)
