Merry Christmas, dear cyberfriends!

I decided to share this year, so lookie, lookie:

My Christmas tree, decorated a couple of hours ago:



My prezzies, in the foreground a plate of honey cake figures made by yours truly:



And finally all the cookies you've heard so much lately, piled up to your virtual pleasure:



BTW, I've received a virtual gift from a generous benefactor, according to this message:

Anyone had experiences with the thing already?

True. On the other hand, having the same temprature throughout the entire flat is nice. And not having to bother with the heating ourselves. We used to have wood- and coal-heated ovens in my youth... it was a messy business, let me tell you.

We had a real fire in the sitting room when I was young and one of those electric fires which are supposed to look like real fires in the other room, but it wasn't until later that the real fire was changed and radiators put in which were warmed by it. Before that we used to have paraffin heaters in the bedrooms, and my word, it's a wonder I was not in a coma. Just one whiff of that now takes me back!

Hmmm... I never heard about paraffin heaters. They couldn't be very healthy...

It probably explains a lot about me, I think the fumes sort of dissolved my brain, lol. They never left them in the bedrooms, but would warm them up if it was bitter.
