IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greetings to one and all, my wonderful blog friends.
Christmas comes but once a year (Believe it or not!) and I love every single second of it! Santa has been good to me so far (and not been to see my sis and her family yet!) and got me a brand new laptop. Well, really, my current one has become a little slow and noisy, and Mum's laptop is even slower than mine. So I am having the new one, Mum is having my "old one" and Mum's old one is going to just store pictures. What a clever Santa, to know just what we wanted!
Christmas Day also holds a special place in my heart. Four years ago - Christmas Day 2006 - I was browsing the Internet before settling down for a big meal, and my first visit was to the Leaky Lounge. I had become a reasonably active poster on the Harry Potter forum, especailly the Reading Groups. But as I logged into the Lounge that day, I was also asked to become a Moderator, to help look after the Lounge, - and, don't forget, the title of the seventh book had only been released days earlier. To be honest, I really needed something to take my mind of things. Dad had died six months earlier from Cancer, and it was a sad time. I jumped at the chance to help the Lounge.
And it was the best thing I ever did. I have "met" the most wonderful people on Skype. I might not ever meet them in the flesh, but I consider them friends ... best friends. I don't get to go places without Mum, so the virtual friends mean so much to me
Thank you to all my Harry Potter friends - those assosiated with the Lounge and those who have moved on. xxxx
(And yes, photos will be forthcoming tomorrow of the Princes :) )
