    Evening all.

    Tia I hope your little one is ok

    Turkey cooked.

    Just a couple of pressies to wrap when the kids are asleep.

    Feel a bit dodgy - earache (not at your level yet Lil_me) and stiff shoulders, hoping it is just tension although I don't feel tense.

    I hope all of you have a wonderful time and I will pop in tomorrow to see how it is going.

    Kaz so glad your son enjoyed your lovely present.

    Tia - huge hugs and really hope your littlie is ok. Lots of de-stressing vibes sent to you xx

    Kaz - I was thinking of your son getting his guitar today. DH plays electric guitar and has got our two 3/4 size ones for tomorrow. They'll love them as they're always trying to play his and struggling as they're too big.

    A huge happy christmas to everyone on here. You've kept me sane but not too sane! I wish you all a very happy, relaxing day and good health, happiness and fortune in 2008 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I know exactly what you mean GAB - too much wrapping!

    Maybe I should start chanting in rhyme and become a rapper!

    "Christmas Yo!
    Christmas Ho!
    Let's get rappin'
    Instead of all this wrapping'
    Santa come
    Santa goz
    But my presenze - hey!
    Are better than yoz"

    Or sumpun like that

    Wooohooooooooooooo it's Christmas :D

    Kids are in bed although almost had full on panic as I can't remember where I put the Santa sacks :rolleyes: so had to make do with a pillow case each (just like we had in the olden days!)

    That link to google earth is great, they were desperate to get to bed as 'Santa's in Europe mum' :rotfl::rotfl:

    So mince pie, juice and carrots and water have duly been left out. Now to see if he leaves any snowy foot prints (like he has in the past ;) ) Used to be size 9 foot prints, will have to make do with size 7 now!

    Hoping you all have a wonderful Christmas Day, don't forget it's your day as much as it is the kids :)

    PMSL - theres not a lot I can say in response to that one is there :eek: .

    I'll prob be like you, I usually finish around 3am but DD doesnt normally get up till 6ish. She's still up now watching pirates of the caribbean but at least it means she'll lie in a bit longer.

    Hope you have a fantastic day, it'll all be worth the stress just to see their faces :D
