Well you can tell it`s just about time for Christmas!! The gear is already starting to pile up. OOps we haven`t finished with Halloween yet, it`s a bit congested in the shops.
Yes, I can remember when Christmas felt like Christmas, (At my aun`ts) the smell of pine (real pine) we used to make a lot of our own decorations (i.e lanterns) from old cards, garlands from crepe paper. There were a few baubles and the excitment of Christmas day, we always received something, only small, and Christmas lunch was a baked chicken with lots of vegetables and after eating it, was Christmas pudding with custard and in which we would find a silver three pence. We would go out and look at Christmas lights, Oh yes, and it was always a time for Christmas Bush and Christmas Bells which we would collect in the bush (I think that it could have been illegal). This is what makes memories!! To-day Christmas is such a drag, we get together, and try to have a good day, but it costs so much money, everyone is tired and broke, I make the same old things and we have the same old food, the magic is gone!!

This is going to be my first Xmas in quite a few years with my girls and their kids as it’s hasn’t interested me in so long. But we’re not getting any younger so I thought I’d better make an effort cos I don’t know if it’ll be my last.
