A blog full of memories
I am not really a traditional holiday person. In fact, I mainly try to avoid tradition all together. My mum, on the other hand, has a list a mile long of things she does at Christmas: Christmas letters, Christmas baking, decorating the house, decorating the tree, Christmas dinner (although, I am pretty sure my dad …
I would be so cool. We have to buy a Wii first, but still. How fun would dancing with ABBA be? Cool. I’d be the coolest momma on the block.
