it's the most wonderful time of the year

ok so right this minute there are 43 days 7 hours and 35 minutes until christmas day!
it is officially my favourite time of the year because i have the three best times of year in 1 week! (christmas, my birthday, nye)

so there is this shop around the corner from my house called christmas presence and it's only ever open in november, december and january. last year i think i spent about a million dollars in this shop on decorations, wrapping paper, ribbon, glitter, presents and just stuff i don't really need but makes my house look so christmassy!

so i went there this afternoon and it is just as good as i remember! there are free lollipops and candy canes and everything is gold, silver, green, red and just so colourful and great! i spent over an hour in this shop which isn't even huge but is crammed full of everything you could ever need to decorate anything around christmas time!

i eventually left spending just over $30 with a few assorted things (christmas essentials as i would call them) i got...
silver wrapping paper
gold wrapping paper
gold curling ribbon
silver curling ribbon
pearl curling ribbon
silver glitter stars
red glitter stars
silver and blue foil gift tags
gold 'noel' decoration
and a set of make your own metallic paper chains!

i am so excited to use all this stuff for when i wrap presents and decorate my house. my whole family is coming to my house for christmas lunch so there should be at least 20 of us all together to have fun!

so this is just my first purchase at christmas presence for christmas 2010 and i am sure i am going to buy so much more because christmas is so much fun for everyone and it is definitely my favourite time of year! (i have already started humming carols)
