I don’t know what it is, but as I’m getting older, Christmas seems to just creep up faster every year! It was only four days ago that I finished work for the year and it’s already here! I can already smell the turkey and ham in the oven ready for the traditional family Christmas lunch - the aroma is making me more hungry by the minute.
In about an hour (when Ed is forced out of bed), we’ll start to open all the presents around the tree. There seem to be an awful lot this year - maybe everyone is feeling extra generous. I hope everyone likes what I got them. :)
I also think that this is one of the coldest Christmases we’ve had in a while (it’s a mild 16 degrees at the moment). With the weather as it has been these last couple of weeks I’m not surprised either. It sure beats the 30 degree days we’ve had in the past.
In any case, no matter how you choose to celebrate the day, I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday. I’ll be back later in the week to write about my presents (not to mention the present I bought myself - yes, I finally got that TV!).
Cheers!

I’m pretty sure Christmas ‘06 was colder, with snow on Mount Dandenong. OF course, up here the temperature is never below 24/25 and never above 35/36, even at night. I’m already looking forward to the dry!
