I love a new haircut! I've been seeing the same stylist for about 2 years now and I love how she cuts my hair. The hair cut I got yesterday, which is same as the last one in September, is my favourite so far. It's like a little helmet; so cute!

I love having my hair washed, I love having my hair combed, brushed and cut and finally I love having it blow-dried. It feels great! Off to enjoy my Christmas tree now....

I love Christmas parties and the Christmas spirit! I've got two down and a few more to go. Every year I await the feeling of Christmas to enter me with happy anticipation. I usually kick start it with a trip to the mall and big grocery stores. Normally I don't look to malls for inspiration but I do find, compared to some other cities I've been to, that Montreal lacks in outdoor Christmas decor and the best place to find it is inside malls and big chain grocery stores.

Here's a picture of our first Christmas tree! A beautiful balsam fir; it smells so good! We always found a reason not to get a tree but this year I decided I couldn't live without one.

I love the snow! I love it for giving me a half snow-day today which gave me a chance to catch a matinee of A Christmas Carol, buy a new winter coat and come home early to newly delivered Christmas cards!

View from the door to the balcony:

Willow's first step onto snow and her quick retreat!

I love Amarula! I've been drinking it since a huge ad campaign in the Montreal's metros back in 2006 I think it was. It was Christmas time and the ads were everywhere!! It looked something like this:

Although this is a Toronto subway platform.


I drink it with milk, with hot chocolate, on ice. It's delicious!

I love Gilmore Girls! My favourite episode is when Lorelai's mother points out to Lorelai that the real Lorelai would never let Luke keep his daughter from her. I can't believe he waited so long to tell her about his daughter. What a jerk!

I've been watching an episode every evening snuggled up with a blanket on sofa. It's cold outside! I'm praying for a snow day this Thursday....!

Merry Christmas from the Gilmore Girls!

I am not liking getting ready in the pitch black these days....I mean mornings. It's only just started and I'm already sick of dragging myself out of bed when it's as black as midnight.

Even Willow's sick of it....
