christmas time has always been london time (: not the exact date, but the whole month before it. we used to go to london every few years in december when i was young, to revel in the christmas lights along oxford street, regent street and in harrods. to me, christmas in london was all about the bright sparkling lights, crazy amounts of shopping, mulled wine, pubs, ice-skating and books. haha. i loved my london bookshops.

and the past three years, it was all about christmas shopping with angela, a visit to some bloody ass cold country (paris, stockholm & helsinki), christmas markets, mulled wine (tt is my BIGGEST christmas love), cider, christmas shopping and all the lovely jolly festive spirit. mms (:

well at least i get the freezing ass country trip :p and mulled wine of course. hahaha. seoul's already beneath zero degrees (time to bring out the whole trunk of winter clothes i've amassed over the years), and ski season's about to begin in niseko. hello cold and powder snow (: here i come. oh nothing makes me happier than freezing temperatures and christmas (: they are love.
