I am so excited about christmas after reading this thread and thinking about what we are going to be doing. Hopefully we'll have an early christmas celebration with DP's family in Russia (their christmas is actually after ours in the new year) then back here in time for christmas at my sister's place at the beach in central queensland. I am super excited as it's DD's first christmas, we will see snow in Russia (I've never seen snow IRL) and my parents go all out and decorate the inside of the house and outside with 1000's of lights. Mum has a collection of santas and heaps of inside decorations and they have won the lights competition in their town a few times. DD is gonna love it! Oh and rum balls, can't forget our secret recipe delicious rum balls.
