dont call me scrooge

As I sit here writing this entry I am listening to my Christmas playlist, just got done watching one of the movies on my Christmas list,drinking some Glogi and eating some cookies. What is Glogi you ask...well it is this Finnish Christmas drink that is so yuumy, it taste like Christmas in a glass. Really when you have your first sip of this drink you cant help but get in the Christmas spirit! You can either have it hot or cold, i prefer it cold, but always with some cookies! :) I am hoping to bring some home somehow so everyone can try some!

The other day I was walking by a lil store and it was selling a bunch of candles for real cheap so I decided to see what else the had, my lil Christmas corner was not doing Christmas in Finland any justice so I decided to browse the store to see what I could find to spruce up my apartment with. I ended up leaving the store with a bunch of candles, some garland, a mini Christmas tree and some ribbon. I ended up only spending maybe 10 euros for everything! Success! Now my Christmas corner has turned into a Christmas spread! :)


I am happy to say that I have most of my Christmas shopping done already, with the exception for my mom and lil sister. But the other day we had the afternoon off so I headed to the town of Tampere and met some friends there so we could shop and see if we could find anything there. Sadly I came back empty handed but now I have a few ideas what to get, I head home in about a week so that leaves me plenty of time to finnish my Finnish christmas shopping! :) The city of Tampere is easily one of my favorite cities here, it is one of the bigger towns, all the Christmas lights were up,people walking around and even some snow started falling! We finished the night with a good dinner and a few drinks, it was an end to a nice day off!
