Do They Know It's.....

1St December,  and so it begins. Already the girls (Mrs.M and the three daughters) are nagging me to get the decs and trees out of the attic. I delay for as long as I can. If I had my way it would all start on Christmas Eve and end on 26th December.  I'm such a grinch!

First Christmas without Ma. Already it's strange 'cos usually we'd all be trying to think of pressies for her. Sis is going to Australia right after Christmas to spend some time with our Rob.  She will be there for her 50th birthday so we're going to have a party pre-Christmas for her, so that's something to look forward to.

I'm still hoping for my annual invite to the Big Fella's Christmas bash. It just wouldn't be the same without the Little Singing Fella now would it?

Things I've Learned

Best thing about having a beard... finding food in your beard on the way home from the pub.

Real friends really love ya, no matter what.
