Merry Christmas!

Hi folks, I thought I would put a 'wee' blog up here for Christmas, I haven't blogged since I was in Texas - that seems like such a long time ago now.

It is that time of year when children get ridiculous hyper in school and the shopping centres are even more ridiculously crowded, and don't get me started on supermarkets. People at this

time of the year become so obnoxious and think they are the most important person in the world and you had better get out of their way otherwise you are getting knocked to the floor.

I don't remember the last time I had a white Christmas - a proper white Christmas - and every year I try not to get my hopes up, but I can't help but just wish that each year, this will be the year. The weather forecast this week has shown lots of snow, so to say I am getting excited/hopeful is a bit of an understatement.

I have been writing letters to Santa with 2 of my classes this week at school. It took me back to the day when I used to write my own letter to Santa each year, and then I remember burning it in a fire and being told that once it goes out the top of the chimney it finds its way to Lapland for Santa - children can be so gullible.

At home, Claire has once again made a wonderful job of our Christmas tree this year. My job when it comes to the Christmas tree - go up the loft to get everything down and then watch Claire do a wonderful job :) and try and keep Kaiya out of the way from chewing any of the Christmas decorations.

Come Christmas day - let the travelling commence. Claire and I get up really early (I am still a big child) then once we have opened our gifts that are at our own house, we head down to our parents for more gifts :) Normally we have several journeys to make, but this year it isn't too bad. This year we are having Christmas dinner with my mum, dad and sister - looking forward to brussell sprouts, yummy. But by then all I am looking forward to is getting back to my own home so I can snuggle up with my ladies, Claire, Ruby & Kaiya :D
