And a very merry faux Christmas to you
Faux Christmas: noun. A day appointed for some activities normally reserved for Christmas day when some guests cannot be present on the 25th of December. Example: Since Tom and Amy are going to be cruising somewhere warm over the 25th, we opened a few presents on Faux Christmas today.
Does everyone have this from time to time? Surely yes. Even if it’s just a little something at work or the last day of school before the holidays. We’ve been drawing ours out over the whole weekend. Eight of us. Friday night we went to see Madness) at the O2, and discovered it’s eerily fast to get there and back on the 105 bus. Saturday night we had Christmas crackers, hats and table prezzies along with dinner at the pub and this morning we had Christmas brunch and a bit of presents. Like a sneak peek of the real thing, I suppose.
Once I was reminded of when Alicia made these I decided we needed to do such a thing as well, and they came out rather lovely I think. They made me smile a great deal, and I think I may need to get a few more jars to fill sometime soon. We wrote the instructions on little glassine envelopes, which we then filled with chocolate sprinkles, so everyone can have cocoa that is attractive as well as yummy. I’m sure it’s extra important.
Faux Christmas can be rather, rather lovely indeed.

PS: Nope, this isn’t our new place. Faux Christmas was largely held at the boy’s parents’ house. Shall I see if I can snap something in our new place soon? Like perhaps…Christmas decorations?
