The Christmas tree and all the other decorations are up :) We did it as we always do it, as a family and listening to Christmas songs. It's strange, this time last year when we did it there was snow outside and had been for a number of weeks. This year, we haven't had any yet. Anyway, it was really fun and it looks pretty good. I'm going to the uni pub quiz tonight with the friends - it's the last one before Christmas and the entry is free tonight as part of the offer advent calender thing that the bar is going so that's nice (especially if we win the £100!)

I've been productive and made a list of some books to get out of the library for over the holidays - it means I can get on with my essays and hopefully I'll miss the rush to get books that'll happen when everyone gets back to Newcastle in January!

I'm about to have a Hot Chocolate with Baileys because it's December and I can :D I do love Christmas!

I was feeling pretty paranoid last night - we all were. Every noise we heard outside made us wonder whether someone was trying to break in again. Logically, I know it's unlikely but it's a horrible feeling all the same. And that's made a positive post negative so I'm going back to talking about good things again.

I'm almost done with Jane Eyre - not sure if I'll finish it before the lecture tomorrow morning because I'm heading out for the quiz at 7 but I'll definitely finish it tomorrow for Tuesday's lecture so that's fine. I'm really, really loving it. And then I'm done reading stuff for this semester and I can read books I choose again :D First one on my list is The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes (I won it at the start of the semester and haven't had a chance to read it yet.) Has anyone read it?

Yaaay for a Christmas tree and for hot chocolate with baileys \o/

That's all I got XD I don't know any English book unfortunately ^^; the joys of living in the Netherlands..

It was a nice combination - sitting with the lights on drinking hot chocolate :D

You have a Christmas tree already? o.o We always take it in and decorate it on the 24th. It's a tradition, and it's also because it's super warm here, so the tree would be dead before Christmas even arrives.

...whether someone was trying to break in again.
It must be awful. I can't even imagine, and don't want to imagine, what it's like. I freak out when a tiny mouse 'breaks in'.

Jane Eyre, yeah? I'm not a fan of classic literature. I'm planning to read Paul Hoffman's The Left Hand of God. And I'm somewhere in the middle of King's The Eyes of the Dragon. ;)

Yeah, we always put it up at around this time (we have a fake one anyway because of the pine needles for Kizzie's paws etc. )

I had to read Jane Eyre for uni and I've actually quite enjoyed it which has surprised me :D

The lack of snow this year is disappointing. Last year the weather was kinda crazy, but I miss it :/

Hot chocolate + Baileys = awesomeness :D

It's completely normal to feel a little paranoid right now. But I hope it gets better for all of you soon, bb *hugs*

Yeah, I know what you mean - I'll be happy if it starts snowing on Friday; that'd be a good time for me :D

Thanks, hon <3
