SSW 81 - Fresh Brewed
++++ THREE more days until Christmas ++++
I can finally say it! Tomorrow is my last day of work until my 10 1/2 days off! (and yes, the 1/2 day counts LOL). And then Christmas Eve is right away, followed by Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Two of my favorite days of the year!!!! I am SO ready!!
Many people don't really much care for Boxing Day. If you aren't familiar with this day, it is considered a STAT holiday where I live in Canada. I compare it to Black Friday in the States. My husband, his family, and myself, get up nice and early, grab a cup of hot coffee and go shopping ALL DAY LONG. We shop and eat until we drop! It is our tradition and I LOVE IT! I usually get up extra early to go to Michaels by 7Am just to do my own shopping first, then I go with my sister-in-law later in the day.

ETA: For the record (and to settle some of my commentors), I know Boxing Day is not a STAT everywhere. It is at my work and that is all that counts ;)
I am babbling, but this will be my last blog post until next Monday as I am taking a bit of a Christmas break from crafting. I just thought I would share a bit of my holiday fun with everyone!
I mustn't forget that not only is it 3 days until Christmas, but it is also Sweet Sketch Wednesday too! This week we are being sponsored by the lovely Heather at Fresh Brewed Designs. The winner will get to chose 3 images of their choice!!!
I used this little cutie, Angel Cake...

We too celebrate Boxing Day in NZ and the boxing day sales. As Christmas day falls on a Saturday and Boxing on Sunday Monday and Tuesday are day off in loo as it falls in a weekend. We also have New Years day and the day after off in NZ, but Australia only have New Years day off. Have a wonderful time shopping what is Michaels's??? Tell me more.
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
