Christmas

I do like Christmas. I really really do. For the few weeks gearing up for the carol service (now almost 2 weeks ago) I felt Christmas-y, but once it was done I just felt winter-y with the snow and the cold. However, I'm feeling the spirit again. Tonight my sister and nieces skyped with us and we opened presents. I scored a great scarf/hat wrap thing and a pair of warm socks. You know you're old when hats and socks are great presents!

Tomorrow the real fun begins: cleaning, grocery shopping, cooking. Adam's brother, ChaCha (which means uncle - specifically the father's brother - in Hindi), arrives. He gets into Heathrow at 9am and then takes the train to Carmarthen and then the bus here. We expect him for dinner. I am making a roast chicken dinner with potatoes and carrots and stuffing. Possibly a green veg. Mulled wine. And maybe a dessert. Adam always makes cinnamon rolls for breakfast on Christmas. It would be great if B would nap tomorrow like he did today: 3 hours.

That sounds... gah. I would love to spend Christmas someplace other than here.

AWWW. Skyping for Christmas... what a great idea.

Have a wonderful time with your family. I passed your house yesterday evening. The path through the churchyard was lethal going up to Jaqi's so I opted for the road on the way home. Out side my block it was like an ice rink this morning; skating was less an option & more a RULE!!!
