    Morning :santa2:

    1 more AFD for me :D making 16.

    I haven't decided whether I'll drink this evening. I would enjoy a glass of wine but I then will miss the lovely AF sleep that I have.

    I don't know when I last had an AF Christmas Eve, so that will be a real novelty..... at the moment I am leaning towards AF....

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
