The 'C' Word

That's right...... "Christmas."
I've decided this year to make something cinnamon-y for my family... Possibly with root ginger or white chocolateas well, although that might be a bit of a flavour overload. I'm thinking maybe cinnamon pastries although I don't know how well they'll keep, and as I'm not going home til the 24th they have to be transportable. Cookies could be nice but aren't very seasonal. Plus I have the urge to employ the sewing machine this year so am thinking about fancier packaging than usual (Kath Kidston rip-offs perhaps? Fabric lined boxes?)
As you can tell, I'm excited about getting to spend this season not thinking about essays for once.
I'm also preparing a knitted zombie for one of my friends and a knitted hot water bottle cover for another as I finally (after a Lot of inattention) completed Sam's scarf!!!! Both zombie and hot watter bottle will be a challenge as I can barely understand pattern instructions, let alone follow them. Also I've forgotten how to cast on...
Pics shortly!

Aaaaaaaaaaaand this is my current favourite thing of which I cannot stop playing:
