The silly season is truly upon us, and what do you know, it's only three sleeps until Christmas.I'll be spending it with my parents and a family friend who would have otherwise spent the day alone. All of us are going away for a few days from tomorrow, and for once in my life, I've actually packed ahead of time. I wonder if Hell's frozen over yet. Having multiple jobs has forced me to be a tiny little bit more organised, but I still have a long way to go. My mind becomes a sieve when I have a lot happening at once.
I'm hideously behind in Christmas shopping, and I won't even bother catching up before the big day. I concede defeat. I THINK my family decided to abolish Christmas presents this year. If I'm wrong, sorry guys, I haven't got anything prepared... Perhaps I could write you a poem each? The only gifts I got in time are for the children. More and more of my friends are having kids and I do enjoy spoiling them (with their mum and dads' permission). I don't ever want to be the Grinch.
This Christmas will be another one spent without my siblings. I love them all in my own way and I do hope to catch up with them in person sooner rather than later. I actually think that a family reunion would be lovely, even if we end up wanting to slaughter each other after half an hour. We can't live with or without them, can we?
My parents just called and I've just been informed that they'll be arriving 5 hours ahead of schedule. I will post this now and tidy up the place....
I wish everyone a very happy Christmas. Hope Santa will bring what you've wished for :-)

what a wise move to forget about the family chrissy presents! if i even suggest that, they'll kill me. we have a wishlist tho, so that takes the guesswork out. it's just very expensive.

Thanks Kath - hope you got your Christmas shopping done on time! See you at IKEA!
