Getting ready for Christmas

Despite the lousy weather (it's been raining very hard and there's a strong gale here at the coast) we've been shopping (shops were open this Sunday, always are this time of year) because my sister wanted to start preparations for the Christmas dinner.

She's a great cook, and this year she's going to make a venison stew as main course. We bought the meat and the ingredients for the marinade already today, and the pot is in the fridge now. The meat needs to marinate for at least 24 hours.

We'll do the last bit of shopping tomorrow morning, and let's hope the waiting won't be too long. It will probably be very busy in the supermarket. We still need to buy our wines, some vegetables and something for dessert.

Our flat is nicely decorated with a little tree (can't place a big one, lack of space!) and other decorations, and we plan to dine with candle light.

What are your plans for tomorrow?
