Yes Berona the quieter the better for me.

We will probably be at the friends until the night time then come home around 9 pm. Hubby will probably hit the Boxing Day sales. My brother is in Sydney and they have a big family get together with my sister-in-law's side of the family.

We normally catch up with them a few days after Christmas.

We had the funeral yesterday...sad.
We finish up the end of this week till January.

Well Im nearly finished my shopping and I've wrapped everything.Even made a start on the cards yesterday.'

It was sad, wasn't it? I hope it didn't upset some people too much.

I read where you have a short break, then come back again in January and finish the season in February. That's when the new season starts again here. I'm still suffering from withdrawal symptoms - no H&A!!

Cards now posted and children's presents bought. I hate wrapping them, but will force myself this afternoon. I'm going to give vouchers to the adults and they can buy what they like with them.

Hi.
Been busy lately so not been on much.
As far as I know thats us finished till Jan.
Adam is on the scene whatever he is up to.

Got nearly all my shopping done,and just a few cards to write.
I hope it's not a white xmas as snow only looks good on xmas cards.

Adam isn't as nice as he seems to be - and his son, Jamie, is a frootloop.
You don't have long to wait if you start up again in January - it's only little more than a couple of weeks away.

I'm still chomping at the bit, waiting for February to come around. Don't know why they took the old version off as well as the current one. There are 21 years between them. With both showing five times a week, I can't see that they would never catch up.

I experienced one Christmas in England. It didn't snow until early January but that was the first time I had seen snow. I was thrilled to be there, but disappointed when it didn't snow on Christmas Day. It was just cold! I could look up at the sun and feel no warmth from it. .. Can't do that here.
I have since been to the snowfields here in NSW and once again, enjoyed it - for a weekend - but I could not live there. We have actually had rain on Christmas Day in some years, but never enough to stop any planned outdoor activities. I believe this year should be dry, according to the long-range forecasters. That means there will be outdoor activities - or, if it's hot - indoor acvtivities with air conditioning ON.

My cards have been sent and I've wrapped some of the presents. Only need to get a couple more and I'll be finished. That makes me sound good. Now, I'll admit that my daughter has done my shopping for me and even posted the cards, as I'm unable to get out now that I don't drive any more. We have had our family get together at my daughter's home for the last few years, whilst her children were small - and this year, it will be at my son's place. After all those years of catering previously, I really like just being a 'guest'. It's not hard to get used to, at all!!

I'm doing dinner but its just for 5 of us this year so that's a doddle.
I will cheat and have frozen roast potatoes so that's a help.
We will see rest of the family at some point in the day.

We have Emergency Bikers/paramedics on in place of neighbours and H&A.

Thank you Marion. All the best to you and your family and friends too.

No, I won't be getting too merry. In fact, when you've seen as many New Years in as I have, you reach the stage where sleep is more important. I'll be watching the celebrations when they are replayed on the TV - tomorrow!
