A week to go!

Only a week of anticipation left! It's the best bit really, as long as you can get festive and still work in a senior school that is, boring humbug of a place! Both Tall Girl and Small Sprog have had enough of it and so have I, it's all 'Bah-humbug' with a fair amount of stress thrown into the mix.

However, here in suburbia, the lights are twinkling, the festive candles are lit, the decorations have been up a while and the advent calendars are looking low on gifts. Breath in....and out...bliss, now if only the work would just STOP, we can get on with the serious stuff of enjoying ourselves!

Small Sprog isn't singing Christmas jingles from the telly this year - must be the first time in his entire life- and I think that's mainly due to him maxing out on gaming sites, lets face it, the world could end and you'd never notice if you were playing on one of 'those' games. Despite the lack of singing though, Small Sprog is feeling festive. He has bought his sister 2 presents this year, carefully chosen, as always. When he came home with his stash a week or so ago, he rushed up stairs and thrashed about in my cupboards for a while looking for paper and tape before proudly announcing that he had been the first to put wrapped presents under the tree this year 'and it does make me feel very Christmassy' he added. I love how he loves Christmas.

If I don't get here again before next Wednesday...

Happy Christmas Everyone XXX

And a Happy Christmas to you and your "young people" (don't think I can quite get away with calling them children any more).

Blessings and Bear hugs!

Hope the last few days of school fly by quickly! And a very Merry Christmas to you and your family, Suburbia!

By the way, the snow has almost all melted here today; I'm not so sure we're going to have a white Christmas after all.

Happy Christmas, Sub and it does my heart good to hear that SS is so festive this year and generous with presents. It would be good to hear him singing along though!

Hope you have a lovely time over the holidays with plenty of relaxation after a busy term.
