I am started to get really excited now. Slowly slowly you can see signs of Christmas here and there. Not in the streets yet, but some of the larger shops and supermarkets have a small corner dedicated to wrapping paper, candles, decorations etc. Nothing big yet, but I am sure in will slowly grow until it takes over a substantial part of the shop.

Here in Spain it all usually starts a bit later than in Northern Europe where I assume they have been going for a few weeks already. My guess is that it is because they celebrate Reyes here. Los Reyes or  Three Kings Day is celebrated on the 6th of January, so if Christmas started as early here as it does in Northern Europe we really would be sick to the bone of it.

Anyway, El Hombre is not bothered about Christmas, but since we have now got El Rubio and this is going to be his first Christmas, things are going to change! Can’t wait to bake cookies and listen to Christmas music. Oh..and I just forgot about the mulled wine! Last year due to my pregnancy I tried a none-alcoholic mulled wine which was absolutely shit. Overly sweet and sticky. I really wasn’t impressed. But this year we are back to the good old alcoholic stuff.

Our Christmas is going to be in Spain this year. Probably just at home, or maybe we will go up and see some family elsewhere in Andalucia, still undecided but it feels quite nice that we don’t have to plan everything in advance.

What are you doing for Christmas?
