For the first time ever I am spending part of Christmas day (and Christmas Eve) away from my family. Terrible, you might think, but I'm actually spending it with Llyando's family before heading to my family for the second half of the day. So it is definitely not terrible!
And with all the lovely snow and ice I'm feeling very Christmassy...
I love Christmas - people in the street are extra-friendly, families forget their little squabbles (excepting, of course, the traditional barney over the turkey/game of Monopoly) and small children run around with huge grins on their faces.
So I'm particularly lucky. This year I will have not one, but two lots of family and lots of Christmas cheer.
Hope you all have an equally wonderful Christmas!
