The Weekend Before Christmas.

I love the run-up to Christmas: the excitement, the goodwill, the present-wrapping, the tree, the cookies, the movies, the wine and cheese, the parties and the dressing up. So much fun. And now I need to lie down.

Friday night: Party hairdo created by my hairdresser.*

Mad Men Christmas party complete with pearls, vodka gimlets and whiskey sours.

Saturday: Once Upon A Christmas at Heritage Park.

Sunday: Neighbourhood kids' party.

And a morning of work squeezed in for good measure. 

Hope yours was good too.

*p.s I've discovered getting your hair styled by your hairdresser is the most brilliant thing ever. It costs a fraction of a haircut and looks a million times better than when you do it yourself.
