It's very definitely Christmastime here in Edinburgh. The German market has been peddling its wares for some time now [cue me getting free stollen in exchange for pronouncing it correctly], there's a decided nip in the air, and everyone is panicking about presents. Me, I'm nearly sorted. Things have been knitted [being deliberately vague due to the propensity of family members to read this blog], all sorts of deliciousness has been baked to give away to friends, the Christmas dinner has been planned, Christmas cards with my very own mix CD have been posted.
This is my season, people.
You may be slightly miffed by the less-than-seasonal photos here, but bear with me. This year I'm making a video filled with festive cheer, and I simply cannot multitask and record and take photos at the same time. I'll make it up to you with both indie Christmas songs and a zip file of my Christmas card mixtape, for those of you poor souls unlucky enough to be left off my Christmas list.
