Well the tree is up, decorated and lit.
Outside lights are up and twinkling away, the lighted star is there to guide Santa. I even fixed the loose roof ridge tiles that he dislodged last year.
I made the mistake of wearing my red jacket and hat whilst putting up the outside lights much to the amusement of my neighbours and did receive quite a few cryptic comments, some folks are being reported to Santa for their behaviour in that respect.
The presents are all wrapped and apart from two all posted or ready for handover.
Damn, I forgot to feed the cake ................ OK cake now fed.
Cousin rang today to apologise for his presents being late and no card, it will be February at the earliest, he was flooded out two weeks ago and his car and his electric bike written off so he is stuck five miles from the nearest town and has no bus service but with his health issues he could not use public transport anyway. So he will be all on his own this year unless his mate with whom he has his bubble drives down to his house.
Tomorrow is ASDA delivery day for our Christmas shop, now if it fails then it will be whatever we have in the freezer. I even ordered a bottle of sherry, and the usual goodies to eat plus the mincemeat is already in the cupboard as is the Christmas Pud.
Only thing I have not been able to get is a stalk of sprouts plus the weather has not been right for sprouts, they have to be subjected to a few frost cycles to bring out their flavour.
So unless things change tomorrow we are meeting our Daughter and Grandkids Tuesday for the prezzie exchange in a covid safe manner.
Alas we will not be having family around to our house on the big day, it will be Facetime on Christmas morning.
Stay safe and have as great a time as you can over the festive season.
