Santa's nearly here!

Well this morning I've been dashing around like a mad woman - just trying to get ready for tomorrow as I'm working until 10pm tonight and won't have a huge amount of time by the time I finally get home.

Malc - is still wearing his " newly altered" trousers complete now with no crotch - just to prove a point and aggravate me... but as it's the season of goodwill to all men - and it includes Malc - he can wear them like that until they " jump" into the bin on Boxing day !

The kids are both in the Cinderella panto and loving it - the costumes are lovely this year - Georgie is a fairy and a ballroom dancer ( complete with beautiful gown and headress) - Sam is a servant, a footman ( again - great costume all red and gold braid - he is also the " pumpkin man" - he has to dress from head to toe in black and wave a pumpkin around around Ultra violet line along with a couple of dancing mice puppets - looks really effective !

I've been helping back stage getting the kids ready and trying to stop one delightful child from "turning his eye lids inside out" at every available opportunity as his party trick !

I think I'm just about ready for Christmas although am having to leave Malc a list of duties for tonight including sprout peeling !

We've been so lucky this year - we've had loads of cards and gifts already - some of the cards have been fantastic - my favourite one so far ( apart from the kids ones) is a hand made embroidered card depicting a family of mice all snuggled down for a Christmas story - it's beautiful and must have taken Gerry ( my friend) months to make - I'm going to frame it as it's so lovely - must try to take a photo of it and attach it to this post.

Well -still lots to do and the clock is ticking - " Have a wonderful Christmas Blog friends and a very peaceful New Year ! xxxx

Thank you so much for our Christmas 'Gift' !!!!!
I hope you had a great christmas and wish you a fabulous new year. Just remember your new years resolution, there is more to life than 'quality' ;0)

*giggling at the image of Malc parading around in his "crotchless" sweats*

Sounds like a fun holiday season for you! Hope everything was fantastic.

Just getting back into making my rounds. Trying to shake the gluttony-induced-hangover. Ugh.

Happy New Year!

Lyzzydee, since you were the one who cut the crotch out of Malc's trousers, and he now wears them to irritate you...what are you going to do if he wears them outside?

Debbilou,

I, with Junosmom, am keeping a mirror MTM site to hand back to Travis when all is better and he wants them back. I want to keep it alive and well for Travis.

If you are going to post an MTM, let me know by dropping a line on the most recent MTM so I can add you to the mirror and keep it going for Travis.

Cheers,
Chris
