Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas…

So that’s me, then.  I’m off to roast and stuff and scrub and wrap and polish and bake… (and that’s just the children).  Talking of stuffing, there’s an Aer Lingus flight on its way, bursting to the seams with my family and I’m just going to have to suck it up and get cleaning!  Even Bert had a bath today (he looks like he exploded because I blow dried him and now he’s all fluffy).  Have a wonderful Christmas, wherever you are and however you’re spending it.  And if you happen to pass through the wilds of Cavan on your travels, pop in to English Towers for a glass of mulled wine and a slice of very badly iced Christmas cake or two. 

Here’s a video Hubby took of #2 in his school choir at their Christmas concert.  Gorgeous.  Remember to chill out, have fun, dress up!, enjoy your loved ones, have a few cocktails, don’t shout at the children, don’t worry about  your waistline, give someone everyone you love a kiss under the mistletoe, carry a hankie, say please and thank you, keep your hand on your ha’penny, don’t bite your nails…

Oh, and please don’t drink and drive.  I need you here to keep me company.  Until next year, then.

Big hugs

xxxx

 

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?
It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags.
And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before.
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store?  What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?’

    And the same to you from Down Under where the sun is shining, the air is warm and we’ll be eating our festive meal outside in the shade. Have a wonderful family reunion, that’s one of my favourite things about Christmas, the whole family being together. Catch you on the flip side! Much love . . The Bainos!

    Thanks for brightening my days at work with your blog and fellow readers comment and also keeping my greyhound addiction alive with your pics of the gorgeous Bert till I can get home and see what mischief my two have been up to!

    Till the new year then ……….
