Nice to meet you in the www.<BR/>Well, you will have a big change in your life in the next weeks and months as I read in an older post. I am amazed to see that you take the chance to live at another place and let things come to you. So live your dream, I wish you all the best for that experience and I am looking for your reports about that adventure.<BR/><BR/>So now to the topic of this post:<BR/>I don't like that christmas hipe either, starting in late august when christmas cookies and other stuff is presented in the shops and supermarkets. But what can we do? Nothing, right? So what?<BR/>You are quite right to remember us knitters to start with our gifts. And we in Germany have a day and a night less than you in Britain to finish our projects. Oh, I wanted to make an Aran sweater for my love! I have not started it yet!!<BR/>So I have to hurry up, right?<BR/><BR/>Happy knitting,<BR/>Susanne<BR/><BR/>P.S.: At St. Nicholas Day we don't make such great gifts (almost in our family). Some sweets, chocolate, nuts and red apples - that's it!Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03374991763790827182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325665471559207183.post-58290956119977084012008-09-19T13:27:00.000-07:002008-09-19T13:27:00.000-07:00And what about the poor Germans, giving gifts on S...And what about the poor Germans, giving gifts on St Nicholas' Day? Oh the horror!<BR/><BR/>Seriously though, I'm outraged at this Christmas in September lark. I did indeed spot Christmas food right at the entrance of Sainsbury's t'other day. Shocking!<BR/><BR/>(...I may have undermined my righteous indignation stance *slightly* by buying a teeny little Christmas cake. But only because I feel that Xmas cake, like hot cross buns, should be available year-round; and indeed, the packaging just called it "iced fruit cake" or similar, no mention of That Season at all.)woollythinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748575029761173284noreply@blogger.com
