Week 4
Dec 22 – I’m thankful for having help over this Christmas period. I’m especially grateful for Aggie & Pa and Grandma & Grandad who have taken you out for a couple of hours on different occasions so your father & I can get things done
Dec 23 – Our Christmas stockings have never been hung by the chimney (even when we had a chimney) but can usually be found strewn, full, on chairs Christmas morning. This year, we’ve hung your stocking by the fire ready and waiting for Santa.
Dec 24 – Christmas Eve. While you are sleeping, I’m busy wrapping the last of the presents, setting out milk and a biscuit for Santa and doing some last minute prep for tomorrow’s lunch.
You went to sleep so quickly tonight. Once you knew Santa was on his way, you were out like a light.
Dec 25 – Today we went to Aggie & Pa’s for breakfast. While we were gone Grandad & Mick came round to set up your swing set (a present from Grandma & Grandad). They were still setting it up when we got back so you got your present a little early & not totally set up. Everyone came round for lunch and the much anticipated pig wasn’t ready by lunchtime so it kept cooking while we enjoyed all the other goodies. Presents were swapped & a good time was had by most.
Dec 26 – Ah Boxing Day. Glad it is all over for another year. You spent the day playing with your new toys then in the afternoon went with Aggie for a swim (& got more presents) while Daddy, Mick & I watched the Doctor Who Christmas Special – The Snowmen. We all thought you might crash early but were still up at 10pm!!
I’m finishing my journal here this year – apart from my year in review page
