So yesterday felt extremely Christmas'y. What with waking up to snow, going ice-skating and then attending a Christmas Carol Choir concert (look at that beautiful alliteration there!) I couldn't help but fill to the brim with Christmas cheer.
Ice-skating. I used to go ice-skating with some friends when I was in secondary school almost every Friday night. I was never the most elegant, or the fastest but I could at least maintain a good speed and not have to waddle around like an uncoordinated baby penguin.
Oh, how things have changed.
The minute I stepped onto the ice I suddenly couldn't remember what you had to do, therefore I resorted to clinging with all my might onto the side frames and doing the all important shuffle.
However, it wasn't too long until my brain remembered how to kind of skate, (mostly motivated by the shame of seeing 3 and 4 year old's whizzing , zooming, tumbling and bouncing back up again!) Myself and my friend managed to begin to glide around (almost smoothly) there were of course few hiccups here and there, but all in all it was very fun, and thankfully no bruises or broken bones were incurred.

Then we met another friend and headed to the Christmas carol choirs at the Krannert Centre. It was a lovely way to end a Christmas'y afternoon, even if Silent Night wasn't sung! (I know right, how weird?!)
Looking forward to crossing some more off of this list soon!
