Smells Like Christmas!!!

So I spent most of the day Christmas shopping with a HUGE smile on my face!! I LOVE XMAS!!!! And I finished getting gifts for almost everyone on my list!!! I started my shopping at The Sheep Shop in the City Centre. How cute is that?!?! Then I made my way down the promenade area where all these booths are set up, housing everything from homemade Welsh fudge to handmade jewelry by Swansea Institute students. At the end of the strip of booths, there was this tent setup with a quartet of old Welsh men playing Christmas carols on various brass instruments. It was AMAZING!!! I sat there, with all my bags, drinking a Coke Zero, and enjoying the live music. Let's just say, I was in heaven!!!!

Can't believe I'll be home in a week!!!! It all hit me when people working in the shops asked me when I was heading back to America, and I answered, "Oh my gosh, a week from tomorrow?!?!!" I can hardly believe it myself. See you all soon!!!!
