Once I lost the sour puss face, the colours of Christmas turned out to be everywhere around me.
I don't know if you have these green and red overhead lights at your local shopping centre but they weren't up at Rhodes just for Christmas. The lights flash green when a parking space is empty and then turn to red when you've parked. I know this for a fact because I drove slowly into my space with my eyes fixed on the light watching for the colour change.
Dinner tonight was a stir fry and it was yule-ified with a red capsicum and some zucchini.
Then I got the Christmas issues of some of my favourite magazines and knew for sure that I would be part of Christmas this year.
Donna Hay is feeling the cookie swap this issue.
I think Sarah Murdoch had a lipstick malfunction on the cover of the AWW. Hot pink lipstick with a red dress? Not feeling it, personally. Perhaps I should colour over the pink myself with that red Artline in the kitchen drawer.

I wore my red for the day on my wrist and also on my feet. |
My packing for Friday is well and truly under way. I'm actually ahead of schedule. I've selected which of my RPE jewels to take to Dubai.

Don't worry, I'm definitely not calling you fat, Lara. Far from it. |
I'd better get going. I need a good night's sleep because I have a work dinner tomorrow and then need to pull an all nighter so I don't miss my 3am pick up.
Take care everyone and I hope your December got off to a great start.

Yay, the necklaces love a good holiday. They also enjoy spa treatments, cocktail hour and heavily discounted luxury goods. I hope they aren't disappointed.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely trip and talk properly when you get back.

ReplyDeleteHow exciting you are off to Dubai. Have a great time and I love your holiday colours post. Am sure you never have a sour puss face SSG!! XX
ReplyDeleteI love those lights in shopping centre carparks. They cut down the stress amazingly. They arrived in my shopping centre last Christmas which did seem very appropriate to me too!
ReplyDeleteHave a fab time in Dubai, I don't envy your allnighter to get there, but the break is going to be wonderful.
Have a fantastic time in Dubai. I am really looking forward to reading about your adventures once you return. The Emirates car pick really makes them stand above the rest! x
