We're off tomorrow to some parts north of here to spend Christmas with my family. We're all very excited but the stress of getting there is already taking its toll. There's packing to do and no one wants to do it. Mainly because there is inevitably an argument and confusion while everyone (me) makes sure they've got what they need. We've got the tent which will be our backyard home for a few days, then comes bedding, clothing, presents etc. It's all got to fit in the car and then we've got to squash ourselves in with it. Fortunately it's only a three hour trip.
Tuesday there is a special day in store for me. We'll be backtracking just a small distance south again to meet with a friend I haven't seen in years. She's had twins during that time; babies she tried years to make. She doesn't know I'm coming and the surprise will surely get me in the festive mood.
There will be kids galore around on Christmas day and that is what makes Christmas special. The joy on their faces Christmas morning when they wake to excitedly dig through their stockings is priceless.
So to you all, Merry Christmas. We hope it's festive and merry and that santa brings you all you wish for whatever it may be.
