Tis the season..tra la la.
It is, isn't it? Really Christmassy and jolly and all that.
All my favourite things are around, kids rehearsing for their christmas nativities and school plays, Isaac is a reluctant penguin who may well be 'director' on the day which means no costume and sitting on teachers knee. Seth is a rapper, much to H's complete indignation, he has huffed and puffed and demanded to know what a rapper could possibly have to do with the birth of Christ but Seth was able to tell him, so there. Of course.
I am being gentle on H and slipping decorations up without him hardly noticing, we have our winter plug in's wafting delicious fragrances throughout, candles that I forget to light.
SATSUMAS. Ooooooh every time we peel one we know it's christmas, satsumas are not tangerines, they look the same but they smell different and taste different and they only come out at christmas and I love them.
Sophie and I were wrapping wonders last night and we may well go for round 2 tonight when I get home from a meeting.
Today a little bit of christmas came in the mail ( I don't just mean the ebay parcels either) I got a card from Claudia, who reads me and is very gentle and polite and quiet...she sent me a card and put a little suprise in it for me.
That is the spirit of Christmas, when little things with huge meaning arrive unexpectedly, my day was festive the whole way through because of that one gesture from someone far away. Thankyou Claudia.
I'm not sure I will have much time to sit down until next year, isn't that great? I love my time being spoken for, love having a multitude of ovey things to do and think about.
Jordan doesn't have a day off until January..he is the only chef at work so he is doing it all, every day. Busy boy. Dan is coming for 2 weeks after christmas.
My houseguest is away for a few days and will be moving out next week. I behaved less than graciously when her dad came round the other day, a loathsome and repulsive creature, he got the sharp end of my tongue let me tell you. Eventually I had to walk away and tell him how angry he makes me or he'd have felt the back of my hand ! When I told him that I just couldn't understand how any parent can tell their chld to get out and then just not care he raised hsi eyebrows and said " Can't you?" and smirked. When I asked jusy how much more stuff they were bringing in his answer was " she's moving out in 2 weeks, what's your problem?" that was pretty much when I told him to get out and I went upstairs. Fa la la la la ..la la la la.
So, I am away to eat my chicken fricasee, and then out for the evening. Tomorrow is the dinner for all us girlies at church, I love it. a whole gang of girls let out to eat and laugh and just be spoiled for the evening, bring it on ladies, tra la la la la la...la la la la.

That man does sound repulsive. Eewwww. So glad that you told him that. And No, i sure don't know how any parent could do that! I guess he needs to clue us in...we are missing something!
Enjoy your evening out! Sounds like fun!
Enjoy your busy holiday days Helen. So nice of Claudia to send you a little something. :)
That girls father sounds awful.
