Sorry, couldn't resist the pun
Today is Noddie's very last day of family day care ever. What a milestone. We have organised an aromatherapy massage for her carer; that woman has earned it. I did go to the family Christmas party after all and it wasn't all that bad, even with no lunch (we were late because of Noddie's Sunday school prize giving) and no chardonnay. Otherwise the weekend was chock full o'Christmassy goodness - I've done my final, final, no really there's no more I need Christmas present shopping! I was going to get my in-laws a digital phot frame (what do you get people with no interests?), then whom should I spy in a shop signing his autobiography but their football hero? Half an hour in the queue and the it's bad to loathe your in-laws demons were appeased. Then it was bauble making and Daddy-present-buying with Noddie, Saturday night carol service where the tiny doll in Mary's arms turned out to be a real two week old baby (awwwwwww). Monday was a family breakfast and a trip into the city to see the Myer windows , with some christmas pudding making (late, I know, but better than nothing) and pre-visitor-onslaught cleaning to top it all off, all to the strains of Bing Crosby and the Mormon Tabernacle choir. I love Christmas.
I even managed to squeeze a couple of runs and a ride. You know, a missed workout is often not about the actual exercise; it's the fact that clawing some time out of the day is itself another task. When I'm feeling overloaded it's often 'too hard' to juggle the jigsaw to fit in one more thing. I'm pleased I did it this weekend. I'm also happy it's a quiet day at work today, and that my best friend A has come over from Perth for Christmas and we'll be catching up today.
More anon, seasonal-enthusiasts! Joy to the world !

Merry Christmas!
I despise people-with-no-interests -who-must-receive-gifts-or-there-will-be-bad-karma too. Seriously, would it hurt them to have a hobby? I swear you can walk into Rebel sport and buy me the first piece of crap you see and I will be eternally grateful- that is how easy it is for those of us with hobbies! Is there a countdown until Noddie starts school? Hope she is excited and I hope you know it is okay to drink at 10am on that day!
I had never even heard of White Christmas before this year, and now it's everywhere! How did I miss this? What's wrong with the world?
Good on you for having your shopping done. It's a fabulous feeling, isn't it? Just the wrapping to go here.
Have a fantastic Christmas.
Joy to the world, A! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Have a great one to you and the family ... see you out and about
