And he's off!!

So, it's arrived.

Last sleep before the big day!

I had a great day.

I was working this morning, and the atmosphere was great. We all had Christmas jumpers on, which gave the customers a good laugh, we handed out our Kris Kringle presents to each other, and were all in great humour.

I spent most of the afternoon cooking....you know, the usual - ham, soup, spag bols, cheesecake! Then we went to the childrens' mass at 6pm at our local church.

After dinner we sat down to a game of Risk. I hadn't played it in years, but it was great fun. I don't know who was more blood-thirsty and power hungry, Meg the megalomaniac or Nanny the Invincible!!! They didn't give Attila the Dad or Vlad the Impaler a look in!!! Who knew!!!

The kids are almost ill with the excitement of it, and have retired to their beds relatively early! Amazing!

So, all that remains is for me to tell you all how grateful I am to you for reading this, and that I hope Christmas brings you some peace and joy, and that the coming year is one of your best.

Each day is a new beginning.

Gratefully yours.
