Preparations are under way!

The meat for Christmas dinner has been bought and freezered. The main will be kale 'n' mash and the freezered meat. I know what I will have for desert (the Speculaas cake/pie). The side will probably be a home made husar salad (Dutch recipe). I still have some plums in red wine that will go down well with ice cream at some point during the day.

The choice of Christmas films to watch is growing by the day. Either they arrive in the mail or they are recorded off the telly (Channel 5 has a great choice). Of course the old favourites will be on my list as well: White Christmas, Arthur Christmas, the Muppet Christmas Carol, a Muppet Family Christmas plus many more. 

This Sunday I will do some preliminary Christmas cleaning and some serious Christmas decorating. No tree yet, but I am hoping to get one next week. I already have some presents to put under it as well, although there was one I had to unwrap today already!

Mind you, with all of these preparations going on, I don't even know yet whether I will have to work. Or perhaps I will be recovering from surgery (although I severely doubt it, seeing how 'fast' things are moving here in Norway). But at least the preparations are going fine!

  1. You sound ready! I have some presents on their way, and feel pretty good about my Christmas preparations!

    I read your update post...I had uterine fibroids removed and they were the size of oranges! Did I tell you that already? Sometimes I think I repeat myself!

    Sounds like a plan well made... a tentative plan B would probably work too! Still not clear where I will be yet; spontaneity may be the keyword this side!!! YAM xx

    1. Well, it's going to be work or home. If I have to work, I have to work and if I am home it is either going to be because I am off or because I am sick. I will hear next week!

  5. So that is mashed potatoes with kale? Is this a long time tradition? Sounds like a very nice day is planned. Will you be alone? Christmas movies are the best......
