The Nights are Getting Longer

.. because Christmas is coming :) ..

Preparing for Christmas is always enjoyable. I love doing my Christmas lists, wrapping gifts and doing handmade cards and such. I've never volunteered to cook for Noche Buena (which in our culture is a feast celebrated on Christmas Eve to welcome Christmas day), only because I am not a good cook so I usually just buy something from the bakeshop like cake or pastries .. lol ..

But if I did know how to cook, I would most probably prepare a roasted suckling pig, just like the one my sweet Tilda is cradling in her arms :)
