you know, it is jan 3rd, and I am about to backdate this christmas post. we read the guardian, and there was an excellent article in there by a chap, who pointed out that for his family, christmas was the family, the talking over games and the being there. i agree wholeheartedly. whatever the little niggles, I wouldn’t have wanted anyone not to have been there.
we played loads of games – mum found tellme which we used to play at little nanny’s as children [though then it was metal not plastic!] pass the bomb, taste testing, SB’s jumnior monopoly and BB’s shopping trolley. jigsaws, reading to children and general being there with the people we love.
Yep, for chris and I it was hard work, with th main helpers of mine and his mum out of action. And we would hav liked to see more of our children, and we would have prefered full health in all of our guests for xmas and the new year. And doing crafts on boxing day whilst making a roast dinner did stretch my multitasking!
but… It was great, just look at our flickr photos and you will see!! I love my family, so I love christmas
Ah! That’s lovely!
