I did write this on Christmas Eve-honest
Happy Christmas Eve. Here we are, approaching all the wonder and peace that Christmas day brings.......
What? Do I hear you laugh ? Do you not agree with that last sentence ?
If not, I can understand why. I too have, in the past, laughed at the suggestion that Christmas is wonderful and full of joy. I used to find myself tied up in knots, trying to make Christmas perfect for everyone to the detriment of my own sanity.
2012 will see me turning 50 and if there is anything that I have learned, this past half-century, it's that we are supposed to be happy and NOT running around like headless chickens.
My house needs cleaned and the food needs prepared. Presents still need wrapped and cards still need written.
Am I stressed ? Nope.
I am sitting in the hairdressers looking at my new Christmassy hair colour. The troops will definitely know that I have been here this time. They normally don't notice.
I didn't have an appointment till Thursday, when I popped in with a Christmas card and was offered a cancellation. And the change of colour idea came as I ran down the road to get here on time. I always misjudge how long it takes to leisurely walk down here.
Anyway, I just wanted to post something to add "Have a Happy Christmas" to and now I have. Hopefully I will remember to copy and paste this on to my website.
