Happy Christmas

[peladonww]

Some of us have had it already, but some of us are still waiting (and running around like things demented if they are like me). Why am I never ready?

If it has passed for you I hope it was good, if it's still to come for you I hope it is good

Or do you mean recovered from all that white wine (I too had a white Christmas although it's summer)?

LOL,sounds good.I was thinking about all the rushing around and cooking really.Or is Greg one of those exceptional men who pulls his weight on things like that?(May I hate you a little if that is the case.)

Though I confess that this year I went to see friends for the actual day so I escaped most of the the culinary exertions. It also meant I drank a lot less alcohol than usual for various reasons (no 'splash of wine for the food and one for me' kind of thing) They though that it would be a good idea given that my mother was here last year and she died unexpectedly three weeks later (not my cooking I promise). So it was quite a strange type of christmas.

You know I've always wondered if Avon would be the kind who was good at shopping or not. Some part of me says that as long as he had something to think about he'd be quite patient. Vila would be a nightmare I think, agreeing to everything then changing his opinion when offered another possibility.

Oh, I don't do the rushing around and massive cooking thing! It's not a big thing in this household. I did stuffed chicken breasts (slice part way, whack some stuffing in) for lunch with veges and gravy because Greg likes that sort of thing, (and it was very easy and fairly quick) and our dessert, in the evening, was fresh berries in brandy baskets with ice cream. Big rich feasts don't match summer, but I can see how they'd be comforting in winter. I enjoyed my cold English and German Christmases.

Avon might enjoy it if it was a challenge to get the right--or most annoying--gift for each person, but yes, Vila would be distracted and probably buy (or lift) far too much or just wander off and do something else more fun.
