    Wrapping the last few presents, taking my little girl to the Christingle service at Church this evening, then dropping her off at her grandparents house and going to the pub with friends latter in the evening.

    Drive round and look at the lights and hopefully the movie "Elf" later.
    Think of happiness as a kind of mental gardening.

    I'm just about to go and make some bread.

  • We've been up since 7 and sorted out much of the house (only moved in on the 12th.) I've made ginger biscuits and about to make mince pies. We've cleaned, tidied, wrapped and swept floors. OH's mum and her partner are due to arrive any time and later we're going to the Christingle at my church. OH is currently snoring on the sofa! I'm sure that's supposed to happen after lunch tomorrow!

    MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

  • My family tradition is to have our main Christmas meal/celebrations on the 24th. We had a leisurely morning then went for a nice walk this afternoon. I'm having a bit of a rest now before getting into gear to do the meal...I've prepared a lot in advance so it's mostly heating stuff up and final bits to do. We'll probably sit down to supper around 7 then the rest of the evening will be eating, drinking and probably playing some games.

    My partner's family celebrates on Christmas Day so we'll wait to exchange gifts in the morning then have their traditional Christmas dinner. By 3pm tomorrow I'll be sick of the sight of food and my liver may have packed up!
    Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!
