Something simple and clever

Hello Hello Hello there my fine and dandy readers!

T'is the time of year where we are all stuffed with countless sugary goods and spending time with loved ones and family and friends. I simply wished to peek my nose in here and wish you all a very Merry Christmas, hoping that Santa paid you all a visit and delivered many goodies! Since Christmas has already come and gone, I am also here to wish you all a Happy New Year! Start making your resolutions now, 2012 is sneaking up on us!

Once school starts and we all hit the ground running, I shall be back in business with (hopefully) semi-regular updates and hilarious stories to share. I am gathering them as we speak!

So stay happy and healthy, bake many tasty things, share stories, give hugs and kisses, and last but not least raise your glasses of bubbly and toast this fine year of 2011!

Cheers!

T'is the season of perpetual hope, a sudden love of the color red, as well as cashmere sweaters and hot chocolate.

There is nothing quite like finishing finals week off with a bang, that moment where all of your studying and mad essay writing skills pay off nicely and all you can do now is to watch the movies: "My Fair Lady", Disney's "Hercules", "The Parent Trap", as well as "Pride & Prejudice" all in one sitting.

Whilst doing so, I embarked upon a glorious journey of painting my nails, sipping hot chai tea, and creating a perfect snuggle corner on our couch and enveloping myself within my trusty micro-fleece blanket.

I shall also have you know, that every inch of our apartment is decorated in the spirit of Christmas. Everything is strung with lights and randomly-perched Santa-Clauses and several advent calendars scattered throughout the kitchen. Needless to say, one can never have enough chocolate.

But seriously, now that finals are over and one semester has successfully come to a speedy conclusion, Christmas break is here at last! Plans are being put into action and I cannot wait for homemade cookies, gift exchanges, snow, seasonal songs, as well as time spent with the family and my loved one. All such beautiful things will illuminate the end of this year and make it a spectacular one! Unfurling a new and beautiful year filled with opportunities and fantastic experiences!

I look forward to all that is yet to come, I cannot tell you how excited I am for it all! I hope you all are just as anxious, regardless of what seasonal holiday you celebrate this time of year. :)

Be sure and catch some snowflakes on your tongue for me! The Peanuts always stated they taste like sugar, let's put that fact to the test now shall we?
