T'was the night before Christmas......

Re: T'was the night before Christmas......

I think I'm more excited than my 7 year old!!! 'Father Christmas' is leaving her (me) a Wii tonight (so I've heard!!!)

Bring on tomorrow!!!! YAY!!!

As for what I'm doing now.... not a lot. it's the calm before the storm!!!

Merry Christmas to you Tinky, and to all those who pass this way too!

Merry Christmas to you too Bender, and to all CF members, hard to believe I posted a similar thread exactly 2 years ago to the minute, where has all the time gone?

Re: T'was the night before Christmas......

I had an early present, the flu. Sitting here very miserable with streaming eyes, runny nose and a hacking cough. Never mind a bottle of whiskey is helping to take the edge off it, I wish everyone a very Happy Xmas and I hope you get the presents you dropped heavy hints for.

Off to bed in a bit, unfortunately!
Up at 4:30 in the morning as I'm volunteering with crisis.

Anyone else up to anything special tomorrow?

Nice one LemonyBrainAid - I've always wanted to do that one year - not got around to it yet though...that sounds bad, but you know what I mean!

I'm off to midnight mass with the one I love at 11pm...
