christmas cheer...

well, can't believe another year and another christmas has been and gone again so fast! hope you all had a great time with family and friends over this time.  ours here in south africa was very hot and very different from a cold snowy english one!  we had a great time with friends and family tho and managed to have a good chill in between.  
has been so long since i last posted something, but after being on holiday for a while couldn't go any longer without putting something up, so here are some pics from our south african christmas day.  my friend's child, loved opening her pressies from Father Christmas and trying them out as soon as she opened them.  Makes me wana be a kid all over again to experience the loveliness of christmas! happy holidays everyone and hope you have a fantastic new year, may this next year bring all your hopes and dreams to reality! :)
(p.s. music to listen to at the moment, Yann Tiersen's soundtrack to Amelie, love that movie!)

party party party
