Christmas spirits

It's november "holidays" for the school kids this week. In our family we have a few traditions we alway stick to more or less during this week when we usually were off from school. I WERE usually off school, however november holidays doesn't apply to work sadly enough. Today the family minus Alex went for one of those annual visits, to Tomtebyn which every year is present at Vellinge Blomman in Vellinge. As always this visit appeals to my chritmasy mood, and this year wasn't different.

I didn't came home with what one would expect from a place flooding with christmas garlands, father christmases in all forms and the like. No, I came home with decorative vases and flowers for my future decorated room. Ever since my parents and I had a huge discussion and they said that we could decorate my room because it was needed, I have been brainstorming about how I want it to look.

Right now my room have light walls with small purple blue flowers, with purple details such as curtains, candles and pillows. But I have been thinking of having my walls painted lilac-purple. The more I thought about it these days I've been more and more attached to having black in my room, not necessarily on the walls but as a detail colour. Having black on the walls would be nice to mix with the purple details but It would become too dark for my taste. As I've mulled it over I left the thoughts of black and thought of having purple walls with a gold border, kind of chain-like. I discussed it with mum and told her bout wanting to mix with another colour, when she gave me the idea of having one wall in another colour. Again black came in to my mind and I really want that in my room. Today at Vellinge Blomman everything was settled. I am going to have one wall black and the rest light purple, with a golden border and perhaps a black pattern on the purple walls and purple on the black wall.

So back again to our trip. I came home with two golden vases, two black plastic flowers a golden candle plate and two candles for christmas use. One date candle, a thick one, and a 15 cm block candle which I am going to turn into an advent candle to be lighted every sunday until Christmas. To get back to my new found plans for my room I have actually liked the idea of having a small plastic christmas tree in my room with purple and black balls in it, ever since we moved here, so why not all the time.

I can't really wait to decorate my room now I've got an idea. My parents said it probably will be after christmas, but knowing myself and my will to buy things, I will probably buy the things I need before and start decorating myself if no one helps me. I want to have it now.

I wish for black and gold details for my room for christmas.
