What a lot of fuss

[Sarah]

Well that's it over for another year, hope you all had a great day, and santa was kind to you but blimey what a lot of fuss and hassle for a Sunday dinner with a cracker and a glass of wine instead of a cola, fridges of various colours must be full of uneaten food that folks bought, "just incase"
I've heard that a lot recently, my nieces are all of a age difficult to buy for but I was successful this year got everyone's gifts just right, and it's rare we all get together, our parents, sisters, nieces, nephew, and step kids, and all managed not to fight, though my parents were close as dad kept teasing my mam that the donkeys I adopted them this year his is prettier than hers

We got 2 for 1 this year. Son's wife is Bulgarian. Her parents are here over the festive season. It's their tradition to open pressy's Christmas eve, so they opened all theirs on the eve and we opened our's on the proppa day, so 2 part'y for one celebration.

Pics to follow when i can be bothered.

I like that idea - they celebrate one day, and you the next - twice the pleasure

Ed and I celebrate on 25th, but here, presents are given on 6th January. (The day the kings arrived at the manger)

As warned. To give a general idea of my suffering.

The quality quantity and choice of food was exceptional. 2 packages, alcohol or non. Guess which i chose. Much as you want to eat and drink from 12.30 to 4.30. I ordered my last beer at 5pm. Not as strict as some places around the world.

I told people that I would be happy with either a 790 Duke or a 765 RS Street Triple, but no one took the hint.

[Sarah]

Oh Tom, there's always next year, try bigger hints

I didn't want anything, but people gave me nice things anyway. If a late gift of a 765 comes my way Tom can have it. Much too tall for me
