I love Christmas; I love giving presents, I love picking out special things that show that I care, that I’ve been paying attention, that I understand. I love Christmas; I love cooking the lunch which is more like dinner and is ready when its ready and is always “your best one ever” even though I know its not. I love Christmas; I love the lit candles on the table, the best (only) napkins and the cracker hats and corny jokes. I love Christmas; I love the carols and other festive songs and I love to sing along and sometimes dance a little, dependent on the time of the day. I love Christmas; I love the kindness that floats to the surface from strangers and famials alike, I love check-ins with friends, the reminder of why they have a special place in my heart however far away they might be. I love Christmas; I love a family get together with much laughter and feasting and even more love. I love Christmas; I love a festive family quiz and I love to win. Unfortunately, so do the rest. Game on.
Happy Christmas to you all. I hope your days are full of love and laughter and you get everything that you need and perhaps a little bit more. For those of you who are struggling, I send you strength and hope. And may 2025 be “your best one ever”. See you on the other side. xxx

And you, need to find some brightness on this dismal day (weatherwise only) which I am guessing you have as well. Proper West Country mizzle/murk. Christmas lights are helping. Have fun x

Actually we have had some sun here, with weird low level fog! The garden is very soggy though.

You missed out one of your MAJOR likes/loves! But I’m sure you’re already putting that right. 😆
Have a time full of wonder, like wondering how you forgot to turn the oven on, wondering where you put the corkscrew …..
