All the cookies are baked, all the urgent things are taken care of, and the end of the year with all its festivities is coming closer and closer... which means it's time for a nice and proper winter break.

We'll be seeing family and friends, there will be food and drink and warmth inside and walks in the cold outside. There will be mousse au chocolat to welcome in the new year, too - and I'm looking forward to all of that, and to all the other things coming up in the next days.

So I'll wish you a good festive season with one of my favourite seasonal songs:


Have a lovely time with loved ones, and a good, safe start into 2018 - I will be back on the blog on January 8!
