Christmas Came Early

Today was the only day we three housemates would be together between now and Christmas.  We decided to have our favorite breakfast (pancakes) and then exchange our presents before we needed to go our various ways.  (I'm staying in London but I still needed to go out today, and Laura and Jo were both traveling out of London today.)  

My sister included a little present for Joanne and Laura when she mailed my Christmas presents!  They loved the gloves!




Laura bought me this lovely faux fur winter headband in a Christmas market in Munich.  I love it!  The blanket wasn't a present, it was just to keep me warm.  We did joke that this looks like a wanna-be Pocahontas picture. 

I also decided it was only fair to open one of MY presents from my sister today.  (After all, Laura and Joanne got to open theirs!)  My sister knows me and she knows English winters.  She sent me an insulated coffee mug.  I often have days where I need to reheat my coffee cup twice before I finish a single cup of coffee.  I will admit, that is partly just because because I take a long time to drink a cup of coffee, but the other part is the cold!
