A roaring fire, a glittering Christmas tree, a hunky guy and of course lots and lots of snow. Sadly because we have a serious lack of the later here in New Zealand I've always been a little lacklustre about celebrating Christmas.
That is until this year.
Now, suddenly, I am a Christmas maniac. Forget about the snow, there are, I have discovered, a million other ways to have a fantasy Christmas.
#nzsecretsantaFor the first time in my life I am being a Secret Santa courtesy of twitter. And it's awesome.
You get someone and someone gets you and you try to learn what their likes and dislikes are just from reading their tweet stream. It can, as you can imagine, be something of a challenge. Which is half the fun. Personally I can't wait to see what my Secret Santa gift giver is going to get me.
O' Christmas Tree
I have a tree.
It's not a very big tree. But still I HAVE a tree.
On my desk.
At work.
And it's super cute. And o so Christmasy. And glittering.
And it seems kinda perfect that Dean Winchester from my all time favourite show (aka Supernatural) is in the background too.
Shop Until You Drop Or Let Your Fingers Do The WalkingI hate shopping. And I hate Christmas shopping even more. But this year I've gotten smart. Because online is the way.
With just a click I can shop at my favourite stores such as T2 and Typo and new discovery Society6, which has all sort of fangirly gifts. Why I didn't do this sooner I have no idea.
Christmas Under The Stars
I've always had a thing for the night sky. And added to my Christmas dream is the dream to one day see the Aurora Borealis. In Scandinavia no less.
Going to the Auckland Stardome at Christmas time seems kinda perfect somehow. Even better you can bring along something to donate to the City Mission or the SPCA.
How cool is that
Movies in the ParkEvery year I've been meaning to go and every year I somehow miss it. This year though I am determined to go.
Because a movie. Outside. Under the stars.
And that's another one crossed off the fantasy list.
