    Click on number 1 (the clock tower) and try to light up all the bulbs on the Christmas tree!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Ok just stay in the warm, have Vino and think about doing the tree tomorrow :D

    I'm out tomorrow nite. And Thursday and Friday.
    I have just written out all the days until the 24th and pencilled in my comittments. It's odd not working - I usually only just make it to the Christingle on Christmas Eve. I am going to make the most of it as, hopefully, it won't happen again. I am going to enjoy getting ready without the pressure of spending loads - and I have an adorable little person to introduce to the magic and meaning of Christmas.

    Tree will probably go up on Saturday.
