That Santamental feeling

Christmas Eve again - would you believe it?

The kids are full of anticipation.  But after the Girl's little essay last week we can't seriously expect the Guy in Red to visit us this year - well, would you? Nope, it's got to be a do-it-ourselves Christmas. I've been accumulating suitable gifts all week, and this afternoon the Man had a go too, for good measure.

The Man regrets he hasn't had the time (or frankly the skills) to make a nice Christmas video with music, but instead has provided a link to a video which he says is of him as a student in Switzerland in the late eighties.

Presents all wrapped?  Hah!  I wish...  But we'll get there, even if only just in time for everything to be unwrapped again.

At dinner tonight we all drank a toast to our friends and family near and far - especially the far ones.  We wish you a very merry Christmas, or, if you don't celebrate, just a very happy day.
