Hope you have a relaxing Christmas. You might like the Muppet Christmas - they aren't acting as Muppets but as real characters. Even my male roommates like it!1

Morning everyone happy Christmas 🎄
Up early as usual, it was the dog’s turn this morning. She jumped off the bed and waited at the door. I got up to let her out and she wagged her tail and got back in bed 😐 The cats appeared wanting feeding so that was me up.Opened the last box in my MnS advent calendar - full sized Benefit mascara. This has been their best calendar yet, well worth the money with lots of full sized well known products. Only one thing I won’t use - brow taming gel, my eyebrows need re-wilding never mind taming. Happy to report no black eyeliner for the first time ever 🥳
My presents from Mr SA didn’t get wrapped in the end. I just thought it was a waste of paper to wrap them myself when I know what they are. I get more enjoyment from watching other people unwrap their presents.
Today will be a quiet one and a NSD unless we go to the local for a drink. We’ll need to take the dog out at some stage, might take her on a street walk to look at decorations if it doesn’t rain.Tonight it will be like a restaurant in the kitchen as everyone is having something different for dinner, beef for Mr SA, chicken for DD and nut roast for me. At least the sides will be the same.I hope everyone has a lovely day 🥂I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8 -

Thank you for all your Christmas wishes 🥰Well it’s just me and the dog at the moment as Mr SA has gone up for his siesta and DD still hasn’t emerged to open her presents. Watching James Martin with a 🍷Took the dog for a run on the park earlier, it was busier than usual with people we don’t normally see. We decided not to go to the local in the end as we have enough wine/beer to sink a battleship here.Starting to wish I’d made the effort to go to Lidl or Aldi yesterday with the reports of 75% off fresh stuff - not that I’ve got any room in the freezer so maybe for the best!Mr SA’s beef is in the slow cooker and I just need to prep the potatoes and veg for tonight.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3
