It May Be Freezing, But I’m Still Using My Wine Cooler

With Christmas just over a week away, it’s really time to get myself sorted out.

Hopefully all of the presents have been bought and wrapped. If this is you, then congratulations you are well ahead of schedule.   From a personal point of view, I still have loads to do, and am beginning to really worry it’s not all going to get done.

When you are working full time it can be very hard trying to sort everything out, but I’m hoping by the time Christmas actually gets here somehow it will all be sorted out.

If only it was just the gifts we all had to worry about. Naturally all of the food needs to be sorted out. This in itself can be a mammoth job. We all love our roast turkey and naturally we have to have all of the trimmings that go with it.  

I am a bit stupid though as it takes me all morning to prepare the magnificent feast and then when I lay the table, I don’t really do a proper job. Out comes my old broken crockery, along with all of my mismatched cutlery.   It’s always been okay for me, but this year I have the whole family descending upon me, so I think I am going to have to make a real effort to impress.

I am looking to buy some new dinnerware especially for the occasion. I have found some that I really like, and even though it’s a big costly, I think it’s going to be worth every single penny to go one better than my elder sister!!

My sister is pretty rich and she likes to impress us all at Christmas.   Last year she gave us all wine gifts.  She choose a wine cooler for me. It wasn’t just a cheap old cooler though, it was made of sterling silver.   To be honest, it is absolutely beautiful and I really do treasure it.

The problem is as I know the cooler would have cost a lot of money, it seems a travesty to put a cheap bottle of wine in it, so I suppose I am going to push the boat out with my wine choice as well.   If I at least have an expensive bottle to start with, then once we have had a few glasses, and relaxed a bit, I can bring out the cheaper bottles.

Whatever happens this Christmas, I know that we will all have a great time as the family will be together and having fun.
