philpot 4,991 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Well the trees are up and dressed, the outdoor lights are on, the presents are all bought and Trish and I have just had two glasses of mulled wine. Now I am getting in the mood for Christmas guys. A little girl was visiting the cottage across from me and her face was a picture when we asked her to count down to switching on the lights, made me fell good seeing the sheer delight at the thought of Xmas, okay a bit early but who give a toss. I'M READY........................................ Phil 5 1 Quote Link to post

philpot 4,991 Posted December 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Trish has a few soft toy animals / santas that talk and sing, my grandson loves them and I suppose I don't mind them after all it's only once a year. The little bear sat on the table tells a Christmas story and my grandson who is only 4 just sits totally quiet taking everything in, the only bloody time he is ever quiet. Mark, Mitch....................................get your act together boys. To be honest I would not put all the stuff out yet but my youngest daughter loves to have all the Christmas decorations up for her birthday which is on Monday. She is now 23 and perhaps you would think it was no longer important but oh my lord try to get out of that, not a chance. Our Katie is 100% a traditionalist and everything must be done as we did things when she was a little girl, goodness knows what will happen when she gets her own house although I think she will come home to keep the tradition going. Ah bless Phil Phil 1 Quote Link to post

philpot 4,991 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Some things need to be kept after all we all have our traditions and it is rather nice to have them. We used to take my girls onto the sea wall on Xmas eve to see if we could get a glimpse of Santa on route. I was amazing that both readily accepted the Santa came over the Humber on his way into England and trust me, never a year went past when there wasn't something up there that could be seen to be the slay and that was the signal to whiz back home and off to bed. Brilliant times........................................................we still go on the sea wall to take in the cold night air every Xmas eve and I think in secret we look for the slay. All part of the fun of Christmas. Phil 2 Quote Link to post
