The day started early today, my daughter waking up early in the morning and prbably not getting back to sleep. At 0600, we gave in and let her come out of bed. To say that she was excited was an understatement. And when she saw ther size of the present that Father Christmas had left her! My son was the same, but later in the morning.
My Mum and two brothers came up from London for lunch. I had made a late breakfast for the kids while my wife had been cooking lunch and they had a great time. The kids however were shattered towards the end of the day, more so my daughter who spent the first few hours as if she had a sugar rush. I think that the last time I had seen her with so much energy was when she was very little and I had given her a sugar straw to play with. I turned away for five seconds and when I had turned back, she had managed to bite through it and had eaten all the sugar. But that rush did not last the several hours this did. All in all, a good day and one where we finally finished a bottle of Whiskey thanks to my brother. Once upon a time, when one of our friends Tony, lived close by, in the years before kids, we did go through a lot of drinks. The whiskey though has been untouched since he left the area. Afer ten years, it was finally drunk!
Anyway, Merry Christmas all. Take care.
