0 Start wrapping...

It's time to get inspired and be creative with your Holiday gift wrapping. I love giving gifts and I love even more wrapping them in... and I think Christmas is the perfect time to play with new ideas and do something unusual. I usually wrap in all my parents gifts but I don't know if I will be able to do it this year because I'm only coming home right in time for Christmas.

But hopefully there will be one or two saved, just waiting for me to wrap them in. :)

0 The busiest time of the year

This is the busiest time of the year and now when I'm moving back home it's even more things to do and think about. I'm trying to use my time wisely and do a lot of fun stuff while squeezing in some christmas shopping. I almost feel like drowning in the mass of people who are doing the same thing downtown, it's crazy how many people are on the streets and sometimes I miss the quiet and small Laugarvegur, the main street in Reykjavík. But soon everything will slow down and I'm looking forward to relax with my family and friends over the Holidays. 

Radhuspladsen and Stroget this Christmas

Too many people in Metro station Kongens Nytorv

Delicious Spinat Lasagna and chocolate mouse, nammm (I will put the recipe in later)

Illum shopping center has a funny window decoration.

Hope you have a great day!

2 The Christmas spirit.

When the Christmas tree is lid up and decorated, I really feel the true Christmas spirit arrive.
Each Christmas tree has sort of its own personality reflected in the different decorations.
Some are covered in red and silver balls and others in angel-hairs.
Me and my family collect ornaments that make memories. Some are gifts from late loved ones and others bought in various places around the world.

1 Pretty Please.....

It doesn't have to cost more than your imagination to make your Christmas table look pretty. 

Empty jars or bottles for candles can create a cozy atmosphere and bole off-cuts, pine cones and branches can also be a cute decoration.
