It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

A few pictures of our Christmas decoration. Most of the things I have made myself. The paper snow flakes are easy to make and they look nice on your window. You'll only need white paper and scissors. Every flake is different, you just need to try out different things.

The red star is made of paper as well. You can get instructions here.

I also couldn't find the right Christmas balls for our tree, so I made the red paper decorations myself and added a few golden balls. A quite simplistic tree, not like the most trees over here. Americans and Canadians are crazy about decorating and most of the trees are covered by so many balls and lights, that you can't see the three under it anymore. Although, I must say that I love the Christmas lights outside on our street. Every house has them; clear, blue, colored, everything you can imagine. Now we only wish for a bit of snow and our Christmas can begin.

We will spend Christmas eve at home with the two of us. We'll eat whatever we want this time, not the traditional Finnish Christmas food we have had to eat every year ;) It's good, but it's nice to eat something else sometimes as well.
On Christmas Day we'll go up to Kevin's farm. Kevin and Eileen play floorball with us and invited us to spend that day with them and Kev's family and friends. Kevin is half Polish, so we are having a lot of Polish food.
And then on Boxing Day we'll fly up North to Timmins, where we'll stay with Matt and Renelle for a week.
