Christmas gifts

     Aaaaa look at all this stuff we got for Christmas! It's actually fun that there are two of us because we get twice more gifts! We have everything piled up on our bedroom floor now and I don't want to sort anything and put it away just yet :-) I took pictures of some of the gifts so I could look any time back and remember how much fun this Christmas was. But there is something you can't find on these photos: Ben got us new Canon 50 mm camera lens! We're still trying to get used to them but I'm so happy that our photography went one level up!

     My other favorites include sweets from Moscow (they all smell so good and remind me of having tea with my family on the weekends), Moleskine 2013 Color a Month Planner (I can't live without my Moleskine planners! I'm so happy I got a colorful one this year!), a new cookbook about roots (I was eyeing it for a while and it was a big surprise that Ben's parents got it for me!), llama fur gloves and ladybug clogs!

     There's many more other things piled up around me right now, and I might show them some other time later. And pssss! Ben and I are going to exchange some more gifts for New Years, too :-) In Russia we don't celebrate Christmas, we have New Year holidays with a big tree, presents, dinners, etc -- Ben and I decided to make it multicultural and celebrate both holidays this year! I really miss my family and especially now during the festive days I want to be with them.

Wishing you all Happy Holidays! What did you get for Christmas? Do you celebrate New Years?
