Time for one more post before the big day tomorrow! As you can see from the photos, I have been super busy baking and decorating a batch of my annual gingerbread cookies which just makes everything just so Christmassy – the house filled with the scent of gingerbread is just my favourite thing.

How on earth is it Wednesday already and just 4 days left until Christmas? I’ve already done a lot of my favourite Holiday tasks including plenty of Christmas shopping and of course gift wrapping. I am obsessed with the gift wrap I found this year! As I write this, I am continuing my annual Harry

MERRY CHRISTMAS
As I am writing this, the turkey has just come out of the oven and the smell of roast potatoes fill the house. My sister’s have Christmas songs on repeat and my parents are singing to their hearts content on the karaoke machine to some good old Cantonese pop music (it sounds bad guys…!) I
