Christmas Cheer?

[gin_tonic]

*sigh* I'm sitting in my bed right now, because whenever I get up my head starts spinning, and I'm wondering where the heck my Christmas Cheer is. The little Christmas Tree on my desktop says it's 14 days till Christmas and I think I should have Christmassy thoughts by now. But do I? No.

I suspect it's because I'm far away from home and don't have all the things here that belong to the pre-Christmas time for me. For one I don't have any Christmas markets here. No mulled wine. I made some German Christmas cookies, but I ate all of them already.

I have an Advent Wreath and I suppose I could light that one. I also have Christmas music. And still ... still there is nothing. No Christmas Cheer. And it's annoying. If I wasn't sick I might go Christmas shopping. The city and the mall have some Christmas decoration after all. And yet it's not the same. Besides, I don't know what to get for my family and shopping in a small town like this (when you're used to a metropolis) is kinda hard.

So, any idea how to awaken my Christmas Cheer?

Mmm, I think Germany is possibly the most Christmassy place ever. Welcome to the rest of the world...

Do more baking! Something with lots of nuts and spices. When you're better, obviously. Make paper chains?
Go click on Erastes' Advent Calendar? I can recommend today's entry... ;D
Umm, have a really big HUG?

Paper chains? ... If I can remember how to do that, I might.

*hugs you back* Yay! Hugs!
