Every year I plan on being more organised for Christmas and getting gifts for my family with a bit more time so that it’s not rushed. Of course that never happens. With one calendar month to go today, I have ordered one gift but there’s no sign of it arriving as yet. Everyone else I have nothing for yet. Oops.
Thankfully I have a very chilled family and there are no weird pressures to get amazing gifts but we all still try and find gifts that are thoughtful without breaking the bank. Fingers crossed I find some inspiration in the next few weeks. I have one pretty fun joke gift planned for my niece and nephew.

This year Sergio will be in Brazil and I’ll be staying here in Boston so on Christmas Eve I will probably spend time relaxing at home (I often go to a museum since there typically aren’t any lines) and I will drive up to my sister’s house (about an hour away) to spend a few hours on Christmas day. Then on the 26th I’ll host a Boxing Day Dinner party since my friend from the UK who moved to Chicago earlier this year will be staying with me over the holidays and she is keen on maintaining the tradition she… Read more »
