I'm jealous! In Spain we do get some little presents on Christmas day, but we have the Three Wise Men tradition on the 6th of January and that's when most presents are given. So, basically the enthusiasm of English people for Christmas won't get to me until 2014!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-35892367010885898122013-12-18T12:44:03.708+00:002013-12-18T12:44:03.708+00:00This cover is a little bit gorgeous.

Dickens and I are about to have a falling out so I may have to look elsewhere for Christmas cheer.<br /><br />CONGRATULATIONS on the pregnancy! (Sorry, I'm a bit behind...)

I have a ton of things purchased, and zero things wrapped. My sister and my mother are extravagant present decorators, and i feel like I must live up to their standard, BUT I NEVER CAN. They are just better than I am at ribbons. It's all sort of paralyzing to my own present-wrapping endeavors.<br /><br />Love that copy of A Christmas Carol!

It was one of my favorite books, and at the time, I had long passages from it memorized. :)Grace @Bookswithoutanypictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926992766158099078noreply@blogger.com
