I hope all my readers in the USA had a lovely Thanksgiving yesterday and are getting in to their "Black Friday" shopping today (We don't have Black Friday - and I can't say that I would like it to come to Ireland!)
Here in Ireland we know that Christmas is coming soon when The Late Late Toy Show is screened. I've written about The Late Late Show before so you all know that it is possibly the longest running show in the world. About 4/5 weeks before Christmas a special toy show is screened. It involves children performing, celebrities performing or mucking about, toys being demonstrated and the host wearing an obnoxious Christmas Jumper!
If you are based outside of Ireland you can still be part of the fun and watch The Late Late Toy Show on the RTE Player here.
Here in Ireland it is a tradition for all the family the watch the show (the little ones tend to fall asleep half way through so it is shown again on Sunday afternoon!)
I intend to watch while putting up on my tree (pics to follow) with a Bailey's in hand!
Hope you enjoy the lead up to Christmas - I intend to delight in all that is Christmassy in order to extend the season as much as possible rather than making it all about one day.
This blog was originally started to track our progress as we regenerated a derelict Victorian house in Dublin. We turned an old crumbling ruin in to our dream house! If you wish to read through the trials and tribulations of the house build it is best to start at the oldest blog post and read in date order. The blog then evolved in to being all about my life in Dublin, Ireland and then life in Malaga, Spain with artist "PIGSY" and now back in Dublin I hope you enjoy reading it!
