Christmas, the summary

What can I say except that it was great. To see my family so happy makes it all worth the effort. Jermaine seemed quite tired but I am sure will have eventually woken up to enjoy his gifts.

On the subject of gifts I got some amazing ones!

In no particular order I am now the proud owner of three robo whatsits. I have plenty of books to enjoy. There is a model of the first expensive car I ever bought in the colours it was finally after an expensive repaint … just before a thief wrote it off. I have this ever so sexy new keyboard and mouse.My joystick can’t wait to be held and I know I shall have lots of fun with it.FlightSim has been upgraded and I am looking forward to giving that a bash. There is this fantastic Disney Villains Snow Globe and along with my fun water feature and my crystal light changer, I am a little lost where they are going to go but they will be somewhere special eventually. I was up too late this morning to have Lucky Charms but that doesn’t mean I can’t have some for supper 🙂 I now have a roll up keyboard to take around with me. It’s fairly basic as would be expected from a keyboard which can be rolled but it knocks out a tune and will be great when I go on holiday. Oh, and I almost forgot because I have slept since I last saw it, I got one of those Stingray vehicles (SPV I think) which now sits alongside a ship and an Eagle from Space 1999.

I only hope everyone else had as good a Christmas as we did. A huge thank you to all those who were here in person, here in spirit or in some other way contributed to the happiness.

In short, there was nothing I was disappointed about.

We have to believe for something to exist

You know, even with all the amazing things there are to do, people had to go and invent boredom!

With these kittens it is easy to believe that we all have suicidal tendencies or have become Emo because of the marks we have on our arms … I suppose we have failed in teaching them at Christmas they have to be good and kind and not take chunks out of us!

In just half an hour it will be Christmas 2007 and it only seems like 365 days ago I was thinking that very thought.

This particular Santa has sorted all the gifts into neatly named piles ready for the big day. I was surprised just how many there are and, to be honest, can’t remember the last time my own stack was as huge as it is this year.

We have an unusually early start tomorrow aiming to leave here by 08:30 to go visit Jermaine who could well still be in bed when we get there! Because of that, I should really be tucked up in bed myself rather than sitting here drinking a rather nice bourbon.

To anyone and everyone who reads this, a very merry Christmas and especially to my dear friends, a huge heartfelt thank you.
