CHRISTMAS CARDS MIXED WITH KNITTING

**WARNING** From now on until Christmas eve, many of my posts will be about Christmas, shopping, snow, films, music, culture and all the jolly stuff. So if you're a Grinch, close it now and come back 01/01/12.


One of this years Christmas cards I'm sending to family, friends and others.


Today I licked 22 envelopes and 22 stamps... Then tomorrow or Thursday I need to buy 3-4 more. I love sending Christmas cards and love getting them, so get cracking people.

On the right there is the mitten I've been working on. I finished the main in like September this year, but needed some guidance with the thumb from my mate Simen. I've knitted mittens before, but that's two years ago, so needed a refresher.


We gossiped, knitted and chatted for 2:43 hours. I just thought "Wow that went fast, let's set a record next time, five hours." Me and Simen can just chat about random stuff for hours. Show us a picture of a sheep and we'll give 30 min conversation. 


This week is the Christmas week in Swansea. On Thursday me and my good mate Dean are going Christmas shopping :D And we also start our countdown for "Christmas eve". We celebrate it over here on the 9/10th weekend. Then Friday Swansea Winter Wonderland opens and on Sunday it's the annual Christmas parade and Lights Switch-On.

Today's song: Nightmare Before Christmas - What's this?
