A Peaceful Christmas to you

Hello Dear Bloggy Friends
Time marches on and there appears to be little left that could be called spare before Christmas day. So I will post my good wishes to you while I can.
Above all I wish you a peaceful Christmas. Not peaceful as in quiet (unless that is what you prefer) With 16 for lunch and another 12 joining us in the evening our house will hardly be quiet, but I hope it is peaceful and not quarrelsome! I always feel lucky to have a family that gets on well together and understands and respects their differences. (When I worked for Social Services many families feared Christmas and not without reason)
 The beds are all made, though there is still the vacuuming and a quick wipe round to be done.  I will prep the veg tomorrow afternoon, as from tomorrow teatime we are either visiting or being visited.
 Whatever isn't done by tomorrow teatime will not get done, Those who will spend Christmas with us are either family or friends so close that we think of them as family and I don't need to impress them do I? They all muck in anyway!

 Have a wonderful time in whatever way suits you and makes you happy.

Love Gill x

  2. I feel as if I'm falling down a funnel; with just about enough room to squeeze through the narrowest bit tomorrow. It'll all be over soon, then on Jan 1st we'll all climb into the widest bit of the funnel again. Hey ho!

  11. Absolutely the right attitude there Gill - it is all meant to be enjoyed. Hope it all went well and that the food turned out well (and enough of it) - I had a house full and the catering went well - too much left, which we ate yesterday - and the hens cleaned the rest up this morning - they loved it. Happy New Year to you all.
