IT IS ONLY the second week in January, and yet it feels like a lot more time has passed since the holidays. The decorations are still up and we're still turning on the white Christmas lights in the evenings, glittery in their delicate glass globes and strung along the archway of the built-in bookcase in the corner, instantly making things feel festive. For the past two weeks, it's been busy, busy, which is the reason why it feels like so much time has passed.

THIS PAST WEEK, we were back in London, thinking it might be the last time in a long time again that we would be able to be out and about before another national lockdown. We were also there to celebrate the holidays and two anniversaries. When we were last here, it was May, and things were only tentatively opening up again.

There was the usual carousel and a few smaller decorated trees here and there, but over all, the shops and streets never really got into the holiday spirit like they do in the UK.
This year my holiday structure is changing: fewer plans, no schedules, no compromises. While everyone else is planning their big Christmas dinner, this year I am headed towards making my own traditions, including a small dinner with friends and some more time for myself and my readings.
It’s the 6th of December and a holiday here. The streets are quiet and all the shop windows are looking rather magical this year. We’ve been looking at trees (something flocked this year, or a real one as usual?) and making plans and eating far too many polvoróns.
It’s that time of year when parties and seasonal soirées are in full swing and you need to be stylishly ready at all times for guests, whether invited or unexpected.

THE REALISATION THAT IT IS already December 10[!] just set in this morning, and while the tree is up, and the Christmas Markets are filled with ice skaters and the scent of gingerbread and mulled wine, there is still much to do.
