Christmas Is Around the Corner

Yup, it is the festive season again. Less than one month to Christmas. So looking forward to the holidays. Between now and Christmas, I am planning to meet up with 3 groups of friends i.e. secondary classmates, colleagues from previous companies. Also having a party at home with the kids' playdates aka my mommies group. Will also be celebrating my Dad's 70th birthday and my sister registration of marriage. Really very happening!
I'm on vacation from work from 24th Dec 2012 to 6th Jan 2013. Planning to take the kids to Legoland and Hello Kitty World on first week of January. And lots of shopping to do! I'm updating my Christmas deco this year. The color theme is royal blue and silver. Bought some china and Christmas baubles, and now I need the similar color for my table runner, table cloth, napkins. Need to stock up my cellar too. Oh...the kids are very keen to bake gingerbread man and cookies. Need to get the ingredients soon to practice baking. I'll have to start writing down when I should do what or else I will never get around to do all.
In another 2 weeks, the kids are having their term break. One month holiday for them. Lucas's Mandarin teacher is away for a month, and Lucas has a lot of free time in his hand. He agreed to take up swimming lessons during his school holiday. The deal is once he can swim, we will go to Hard Rock Hotel again. That is his motivation. Now I need to find a swimming instructor for him. As for Chloe, I just found an Arts & Craft teacher for her. Chloe is the arty one. She can draw and color for hours! Thought this might make her happy.
