Leslie the Weekend at your cottage was one of my favourites too!!!!
I also have an annual tradition where my sisters and some of my closests friends get together and spend the weekend doing our last minute Christmas shopping. Every year we end up closing Winners on Friday night, usually shopping for ourselves to get us into the swing of it lol!! We come back to my best friends house in Orleans who has prepared a beautiful candlelight dinner for us, and we dine in our favourite pj's!! Dinner involves wine, and laughter and sometimes tears too as as we get caught up on what is going on in our busy lives. Off to bed we go with our assigned roommates ensuring that everyone has a goodnight sleep and the snorers are strategically located in the house so as not to wake the others!!! (That would be me

) Saturday we buddy up and focus on checking off our lists and literally shop till we drop. Another candlelight pj dinner and of course more wine and a show and tell of all of the beautiful gifts that we have purchased for our family, friends and of course ourselves too

By Sunday morning we are rejuvenated, reconnected and our lifelong bond is strengthened. I can't wait for this years Christmas pj party
