A 26 Inch Christmas!

Christmas Eve, with all of Alex's presents hidden in Gary's car we had to wait till he FINALLY went to sleep. So it was gone one am when I could safely move them and arrange nicely in the lounge.
He's been on and on about this new 26inch TV getting really excited to the point of driving me insane.

As I had to wait so long for him to fall asleep I had one too many glasses of wine, so come 6am wasn't exactly bouncing out of bed with excitement when he crept in to wake me. In fact the pillow was velcroed to my head and I felt like shit.

It was worth the hangover, his face was a picture he loved the TV and all the presents. So the covert operation has come to a successful conclusion.
Did the usual ate loads. Created a town courtesy of My Sims Nintendo Wii. Aren't those games brilliant? I'm always going on about how amazing the graphics are but then again what do I know? All we had as kids was Paddle Tennis.

Anyway must dash, Alex is calling and my immediate presence is required.

See Ya Later.....................
Anyway hope you all had fun, catch ya later.....!!

Spreading the Christmas Cheer!

I've just come back from yet another shopping trip, yes more presents to hide at Gary's place. Alex is staying with his grandparents this weekend so I have a chance to wrap up the gifts without being discovered.
My home town of Winchester is looking very festive, for the past two years we've had a temporary ice rink in the cathedral grounds. It's brilliant and has proved very popular with the locals as you can see.
On Christmas Day I plan to visit the Cathedral to hear the choir sing, I'm not religious but listening to their voices singing so beautifully reminds me of what Christmas is all about. It truly warms the heart and makes the day more special.

All of us do have the occasional gripe about how expensive Christmas is, but it's all worth it when you see the look on the children's faces. I know Alex will be made up when he unwraps the huge TV I got for him. It's occasions like this that you never forget and the memories last forever.

Visiting other people's blogs especially round this festive period is great, Sugar Queen's Dream has made triangular shaped Santa biscuits which look amazing. She can cook for me anytime. A little bit of effort goes a long way. Peace and harmony to her!
I would like to wish all fellow bloggers a peaceful and very Happy Christmas, especially to Sugar Queen, Dulwich Mum, Amy, Not a Granny,Shelli and everyone else on my favorite blogs list. All of you are great and although we may never meet it's great that you have shared parts of your life in this virtual world.

Hugs to you all!
