Well, I got the Christmas shopping started.
It's all the wee stocking fillers that are the real problem! Still, I am getting there.
It's not all about the presents anyway. I love the idea of Christmas. The Christmas Spirit, if you like. There is a lot of happiness about. Lots of parties and glitter. Lots of people laughing and mixing with people they normally don't mix with.
Even with all the commercialism, I think people do tend to think a bit more about people in need at Christmas time. Again, it's the Spirit of Christmas permeating everything.
We are having a family day tomorrow.
Shopping in the morning, with a break in the best cafe we can find for coffee, of course. Then the cinema in the afternoon, to see the new Hobbit movie. A stop in at the local Chinese restaurant before coming home, followed, possibly - if we are still all on speaking terms! - by a new board game!
I'm grateful for the wee nudge that Christmas gives us, to open our hearts a bit wider than usual, and share the love!!
Gratefully yours.
