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?
Is the Big Fella well? Send him my regards.
ReplyDeleteI decorated the Center today and the house will get it's turn on Saturday. I love the true spirit of Christmas (hope, joy and giving) but HATE the commercial aspect.
ReplyDeleteI know it will be hard without Ma this year...but you carry her in your heart and what a big heart that is! It's good you're having a joyous party with family...that will help you all.
Ah, the Big Fella. I'm sure he'll find you in time for Christmas spirits....remind him that there are others out in the world who wish him well too. :)
