Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I would have liked to have ended this year on more of a bang, but this Christmas thing - it just takes over, really, doesn't it?

So, as usual, I'm running around like a headless turkey, trying to get last-minute shopping, wrapping, cooking, cleaning and tidying done while attempting to get into the ho-ho-ho mood at the same time.

It's working, but I think I probably need another sip of sherry. Or bottle. I forget which.

In the meantime, all bets on the blog are off for the moment - so have a great Christmas and a wonderful New Year, and I hope to see you back here again in 2010!

Don't worry, in a few days, Xmas will be over, you will feel super accomplished for getting it all done...in time. You'll promise yourself 2010 will be different and then.... Have a great holiday

Merry Christmas and enjoy another glass of sherry!

gosh, i've never ever let christmas take over, there is no such thing as a must (well, ris á la malta aka rice pudding might be the exception) or a have to. sit back, relax and just do the things you love, not the things you feel you 'have to'.

have a wonderful christmas time and a joyous new year (hope to see you back on blogging then)!
