Kef wish my son slept like your OH, we were woken at 5:50 this morning by a wriggling over excitable little boy asking 'has he been'! Managed to stay under duvet until 6:07 but that was it - definitely an afternoon nap on the menu this afternoon.
Santa did good anyway, even managed to sneak in a ball for Shadow, who has now gone back to bed after a long wet walk.
Next - Turkey stuffing.
Enjoy everyone.

No turkey here - only three of us - so a nice chicken (sorry chicky ) and the usual trimmings. No sprouts either as no one likes them, but I found some chocolate ones for the girls'
Hope everyone has what they wished for today.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
i' m afraid I do not wish a merry Christmas to the first present i saw at 530am scurrying over our kitchen floor, a &@£?!! Mouse!! Aaarrrghhh!! I woke my 3 year old up screaming oops, though she was a angel and went back to sleep til 630!! Got rid of them in garden in summer, am extremely unamused as 1 year old crawls all over floor, IM very out of love with living in an old house, spent the first half hour of christmas morning stuffi g possible access holes with wire wool: (????????
Feeling much better than I was last night! OH has been 'On Call' for work from 6am to 11am this morning. If he'd been called out he would have been away from first thing this morning till Saturday night. So we've been unable to plan anything for Christmas & there was a strong possibility that I would be on my own over the festive period & he would be away at work (has also made food planning a little difficult!). Was feeling quite down about it yesterday - especially as we have to go through this every other year.
But he's here ! - we had Christmas dinner last night and I've just made an extra special fish pie for this evening. Fire is lit & about to pour 1st G&T of the day - then we can see what Santa has brought!
Hope everybody has a lovely day!!
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down

Bit too early for the sprouts for me yet Lyn. Glad Father Christmas has found you and unlike your SM still delivers
. Hope you have a good day
KEF I find that dropping a couple of baking trays normally does the trick on the third occasion. Don't strain your throat with too much coughing
Happy Christmas everyone. Hope you all have a lovely day and Santa has brought you lovely pressies.
Happy Christmas to all.

House still sleeping, but Turkey is on, Santa has been, and I'm sneaking in a peaceful cuppa.
just had a peek in the garden, and my Christmas pressie trees (already planted as they arrived a few weeks ago
) are adorned with big bows
Have a wonderful day everyone
Merry Christmas everybody

Happy day everyone, Santa has been for his first visit and may be coming back later as I have been perfect this year
.
Happy Christmas Everyone
No frantic stuffing turkeys and prolonged sprout boiling here
Only going to be 3 of us this year, too much happening elsewhere, so we a re roasting a bit of sirloin.
Sprouts as I write are still growing so they will be fresh and cook in minutes
Have a good day
Hi All & a Merry Christmas to everyone!
Feeling much better than I was last night! OH has been 'On Call' for work from 6am to 11am this morning.

But he's here !
