The Christmas Conundrum

It happens every year... one moment Christmas is a distant thought, and the next thing we are into the pre-Christmas busy season. The diary is filling fast, and yet I have a mad urge to have a dinner party, a cocktail party, a bbq, a brunch, or even just a few drinks with friends. Of course, by the time I start planning a pre-Christmas soiree I can't find a space in the diary that works for me AND the expected guests.


Of course planning beyond Christmas is just impossible. Our holiday season sits like a brick wall at the end of the year, and we can't see over it. I should plan a date for January, but somehow the idea of putting thought and energy into something other than pre-Christmas, Christmas and New Year is beyond me.

I will do something in the new year... I just won't think about it yet!







While thinking about summer parties, here is a little inspiration...


Mojito.... it just sounds like summer !


Long, cool, tangy and refreshing.
