Christmas - a family time


I love Christmas

There, I've said it. Don't condemn me!

I love the preparation. I love the decarations and celebration. I love the giving of gifts. I love the catching up with family and friends. I love the sheer indulgence. It's once a year, so we should enjoy it!

Yes it's commercial, but it's as commercial as you want it to be. My wife (Hazel) made a load of lovely cards for family and friends. We could have gone to Aldis or Tescos or perhaps made some kind of effort and bought some charity-related cards - but the personal touch is, for us, what it's all about.

I was a bit unsettled when I got odour eaters, deodorant and soap from her in my Christmas stocking... what IS she trying to tell me... hmmmm :)

We spent some time with Mum at the home, helping her open her presents and call the family (photo above). She's no fan of Christmas but she's definitely a fan of family time. Just another day in the life of Cathy.

Merry Xmas everyone!
