[opening stockings Christmas morning : note new Christmas Eve pyjamas!]
I hope you all had a good, joyful and peaceful Christmas.
My highlights:
2.55 pm Christmas Eve. Just saying goodbye to some dear friends when there is a knock at the door. On opening the door I see a young man in a florescent jacket. I look at him waiting for him to say what he wants. Our friends behind me also look at him. A number of seconds pass that feel like minutes so I say something like," Yes, what do you want.how can I help you?"
Silence.
5 pairs of eyes look at him. I begin to feel slightly uncomfortable on his behalf.
Silence.
After what seems an age he then says to me,"Er,is your mother in?"
We all erupt with loud screams and laughter and I almost clutch him to my ample bosom.
Anthony then pushes through the throng and deals with the poor bewildered man while we still laugh and tell him how much he has made my day/Christmas/year.

3.04 pm Christmas Eve. Standing in the kitchen preparations almost done, family on their way, listening to the first bars of Once In Royal David's City from Carols at Kings. Thanking God that I can enjoy my favourite moment of the year once again.
::::::::::::
Hearing the laughter and watching everyone interact.
::::::::::::
Loving Tom's generosity by discovering that Tom had secretly bought the family a Wii with his earnings from his part time job.
:::::::::::
Seeing dolphins from Berry Head on our Boxing Day walk.

No migraines despite laughing and working hard.
