The perfect Christmas

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…

superthumb-8

Dearest,

You wake up on Christmas morning while the stars are still awake. Your eyes still filled with sleep from the wonderful dream you were dreaming. You look at your window to see if any snow has fallen. To your disappointment, you see no snowflakes on your window. The world has unfortunately not turned white over night. Not that any weather forecast predicted it, nevertheless you still had a tiny bit of hope.  But, that will not spoil your day. You go downstairs to make some tea for yourself. The whole house is quiet as no one seems to have woken up just yet. Continue reading →

A wish upon a star

 

Are we human because we gaze at the stars or do we gaze at the stars because we are human?
~ Neil Gaiman

Dear stars,

How beautiful you all look to us every night. Shining as bright as you possibly can. Showing us the way when lost. Being there to give us comfort when we are in need of it. It seems to us that you hold all the secrets of the universe. The secrets we have been trying to unravel for far too many years. It must be quite wonderful to live all the way up there and knowing so much. Continue reading →

Dear people,

Christmas is a time of giving people presents. And something we might enjoy even more than buying the presents and giving them, is the wrapping of the gifts. We always try to wrap every gift as fun and cute as possible. We tend to put a lot of effort in our wrappings, however, we do know that it can be very difficult to come up with some ideas for it. Here are the elements that we use to wrap our gifts during Christmas.  Continue reading →
