Hi there it's ME.....wasn't Christmas wonderful, hey? Friday, 27th December, 2013.

Three days of glorious Christmas madness and now it's the end of Christmas week.  Next week, we'll be celebrating New Year, so exciting, beginning a new year with fireworks, parties and champagne. New Year resolutions will be made and promised, some lasting, some not, but they are well-meant and we do strive to keep them, which is brilliant.

Christmas builds up slowly, comes to us, suddenly, in a great rush, and is gone, while we teeter on the brink of ecstasy or, are cast down by missing loved ones, their presence not guaranteed for the festive season.  It's a bitter-sweet season. We take the highs with the lows. regain lost balance, celebrate the coming year with both tears and smiles, for that which has gone, all that which is to come.

Christmas is such a wonderful time.  Thank goodness for Christmas.  I hope you, like me, have enjoyed every single moment and are, already, looking forward to Christmas 2014.

Presence and presents, food and festivity, love, joy and happy kith and kin - just brilliant...


Happy days
