A quick hello from amidst too many things to do. Working my way towards my last deadlines with far too little time left for Christmas preparations and reveling in that sweet pre-Christmas atmosphere. But our Christmas tree is now thawing in the bathtub and a little juniper appeared in the children's room last night. They found some decorations in their advent calendar this morning to hang on its branches. Our neighbour surprised us by leaving a jar of homemade jam and some sweets for the kids behind our door, unexpected acts of kindness like that are so moving.


Pikainen huikkaus tohinan keskeltä. Viimeisiä töitä taon ja jouluvalmisteluihin ja tunnelmointiin on jäänyt aivan liian vähän aikaa. Nyt on kuitenkin joulukuusi haettu kylpyammeeseen sulamaan ja yön aikana ilmestyi lapsille pikkukataja, johon pääsivät ripustamaan kalenterista aamulla ilmestyneet koristeet. Naapurikin ilahdutti jättämällä oven taakse itsetehtyä hilloa ja lapsille polkkakaramelleja, tuollaiset odottamattomat yllätykset kyllä koskettavat.
