The Gingerbread Slay

Honestly it's hard to believe that it's Christmas week already, even with the fact that it feels like we've been talking about Christmas for ages now, I'm still shocked that it's almost here... Is that weird?! I guess it's because I don't feel ANYWHERE near the Christmas Spirit because there have been so many things dragging my mind into darker places than I've been in a LONG LONG time... I'll talk more about that after the happiness of the festivities are over, but for now I'm going to throw the prettiness into the ring, shake it up and see what happens... The darkness seeped through just a little and took over the gumdrop candy cuteness... 

I am in the mood for a little chaos, a little mayhem and a little evil... I've decided that my version of the Sugar Plum Fairy would rule her little corner of Sugar Land with a somewhat deadly iron fist... Her home at the Gingerbread Manor - which is a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis, that I have actually butchered to use in the background of my picture, and have actually added the official Ad Poster to the bottom of the post... Oh and I'm sorry Synnergy.Tavis, the backdrop is gorgeous but I needed it to be a little different - in the Gingerbread town is perfectly positioned  to watch over her Gingerbread subjects...
That's not all... It's the perfect place for her to be able to get a Gingerbread Throne - from BackBone for the MadPea Advent Calendar - dragged out to the best view point for the public executions of the guilty in the sugar wars... Such a fabulous toy in the Gingerbread justice system, the Ginger Guillotine - available from Krescendo at Slay vs Sleigh until January 3rd - and it's being manned by her loyal Gingerbread Fighters - from Aardvark, available on Marketplace - who will dump the bodies in a Mug of coffee for their Queen...

Polar Flair in the Alpine Drift

It's getting a little colder here but no where near as cold as some places out there at this time of year, and I heard it will be getting colder, but I don't think we'll be seeing much snow over the Christmas period... Before the holidays start though I feel like I need a little break from the madness, I'm not feeling very Christmassy and therefore a break to stop and reset might do me some good... 

I am NOT a fan of Skiing, in fact I've NEVER done it. I'm much more the type of girl that would rather curl up in the Ski Lodge with a book... In fact at the moment I'm reading a really funny one, full of murder and mayhem and spice, but it's set in an Alaskan Ski resort paradise as a Winter Retreat for Serial Killers - it's called Slay Ride by Lauren Biel... 
It did kinda influence my decision as a blogger today, I wanted to be in the snow, I wanted to try and do some Skiing, although that was the plan rather than what actually happened... When I got there, the Polar Bears - from Aardvark, available until January 12th at Kustom9 - were already using the Alpine Drift Slopes, showing off with their Polar Bear Flair...

Paws & Disorder for Christmas Chaos

Pft it's getting closer and closer to Christmas and I get to a certain point in December and think "SHIT" I have so much left to do still and not a lot of time to do it... HellBone is done with work for the year, and I'm going to be making him a list that's similar to the one that Santa makes, only he will be on the naughty list he doesn't get things done... 

Santa has left me as one of his favourite Ho Ho Ho's to decorate the Gift Room in his home at the North Pole - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis by the way - and it didn't take long before it became total chaos... One of the helper elves was pestering the poor old, grumpy black cat, while the other sat on the table and forgot his wrapping to watch me work with a dreamy look in his eyes... I was too busy trying to organise the cats that were causing chaos, too many Paws and a lot of Disorder, which sounds like a damn good name for a movie "Paws & Disorder" - which are a collection from Aardvark at The Arcade - and makes things a LOT more silly fun than decorating a Christmas tree any right to be...

Frost & Snow Elemental

I am once again trying to find a little magic, I NEED some more after the boring day I had at work today. I got home and went in search of the sparkle that would make this season perfect... 
It's rather warm for this time of year at the moment, it's supposed to be Christmas soon, how can it be warm. I bet the big festive day will be warm and wet... Lets see if we can find a little of that frost and snow sparkle... 

On my search, I managed to find just the fae that I was looking for... She's a Snow Elemental - thanks to a set from Faunus - that can be found hiding in the Frostlace Ballroom - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - creating some magic and a few soft snowflake sparkles... I don't want it to snow, I'm not a fan of the snow but I wish I could let the weather get cooler and feel more festive... Just enough so the leaves get a little frosted...

Candy Cane Dreams!

I have caught another cold... YAY working in retail is fecking wonderful innit?! I feel like every few weeks I'm coming down with another cold, and it's too late to get a flu jab I think... I'm gonna have to check with the doctor on that one... ANYWAY... It does provide me with the perfect excuse to be able to stay in bed and keep warm... 

I had a strange medicine induced dream today and for some reason I had this dream about being on a Christmas vacation in Whoville... I was looking for the Grinch but I spent far too much time looking for all of the pretty Christmassy things and enjoying the chaos of a Who Christmas that you'd see in the start of the movie... I found the perfect place to have a good little rest from all of that crazy chaos and ended up snuggling in to enjoy a few candycanes before I took a long nap... When I woke up, I woke up in reality too!!

The Wraiths of a Christmas Spirit

Why did I think that things might get better soon?? I think I jinxed myself and now not only am I having a terrible visit from Mother Nature, I'm also full of cold AGAIN!!! I feel like I am a total grinch right now, maybe Grinch isn't even strong enough... Maybe I'm reaching full on Scrooge level... Bah Humbug... 

I've been feeling so grumpy and there is NOTHING I can do to cheer myself up... Even the book Advent Calendar that my hubby made for me as a main Christmas present this year makes me smile but I soon get grumpy again because of everything else that's going on... 
Maybe I'll slip into the world of a Christmas Carol... Maybe I'll let the darkness in me draw the spirits of Christmasses gone by from the old Gothmas Christmas Tree in the hall - which happens to be a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis for the SL Shop & Hop - and there is maybe some hope that they can save me... These spirits are not the ghosts from the Muppet version, although the last of the three in that film was a bit daunting when I saw it as I was a kid... These Wraith Skulls - a release from Tardfish for the current round of The Men's Department - of Christmas present are looming fast and I'm not sure I'm awake enough to avoid them...

Coffee or Chocolate & Cookies!

It's getting closer and closer to Christmas and all I can say is that the festive spirit comes and goes faster than I can blink at the moment. I'm dealing with some feelings and a little bit of trouble in Real Life but I will let you know more about that soon I'm sure... 
Since I have the day off though, and since I'm feeling a bit crappier than normal today I'm going to take it easy, do a little prep for Christmas and read a good book with a delicious treat or two...  

What do I want to make myself feel better today?! I think that I should try to make some cookies, preparation for Santa's visit... Everyone knows that there should always be cookies left out for Santa. I would offer to leave him some delicious home-made chocolate or a fancy Christmas coffee, but I wonder if Santa wouldn't mind a cold coffee instead... I don't think it will be too hot when he gets here?!
