On the 24th day of Christmas...


I wore Louis Vuitton!

I am so excited because not only is it Christmas Day tomorrow but because we are in Argentina we get to observe the Argentinian way of celebrating Christmas. Our family usually wait until the 25th for our festive treats but tonight, here in Buenos Aries, we will be having a traditional Noche Buena. First we start with a delicious feast under the stars of roast carrot with all the trimmings (thanks Frederico!) before an evening of dancing and fireworks. We have also been down to the market to buy our own "globos", colourful paper hot air balloons that take off into the sky when lit from inside. I can't wait to see ours join the others as they fly off into the night. Best of all we get to open half our pressies at midnight (we're saving the other half for our "English" Christmas tomorrow.) I have my paws tightly crossed for these Chloe boots, I know they're already practically last season but I must have them for my collection. The waiting list is as long as my ears and I am so far down I don't think I will ever get to the top!

p.s. One thing that isn't so great is that the hotel has been driving me mad with Christmas music. there is only so many times that you can hear Rudolf the bloomin red nosed reindeer. I'm like the Christmas music mugger and just pull the speaker plug out of the wall when no one is looking!
