Watching these wonderful mums and their children made me smile and brought a tearfully happy memory of my late ever loving cousin. Happy to see how our society has moved on for the good.

I got a big snuggly blankety throw as a present. Useful and beautiful, and I will enjoy the comfort.

Watching Pat Shortt's music on d'telly.. My god I say it every week but the musical talent in Ireland down through the years is fantastic.. Thin Lizzy being my all time favourite band but love them all from the Fureys to Aslan, Sinéad ó Connor etc.

Some black and white footage from years ago of little children asking Santa for such simple presents.. Operation, a digital watch, surprises, when did it all go mad? One gorgeous little fella about 5yrs old asking for a wigwam.. So cute.. I'm teary eyed here tbh.. Oh having a wine too lol.

We had never heard of those things..an orange was a rare treat.. ah well!

My "happies" are not trivial.... I am so blessed and at peace. Been through some tough times these last weeks but am sailing free now, safe and snug on my small quiet island, an oasis of peace and faith and the reality of Christmas at its heart.

Just a wee gift and thanks to leave at the gate for our wonderful postman who crosses in some terrible weather...

Them snugging down, ready for the Nine Lessons and Carols from Kings College via internet..

Blessed I am and happy

My parents do the €20 & wine/chocs for the postman too ^^^ more of a rural thing where you know your postman and he lives local

Have to work today but TH they send us home at lunchtime with a full days pay

Also TH there is nothing to do. I must see if Aer Lingus have any sales, productive day

My thoughts with the retail workers, I’ve been there!

I love when organisations get on board with that kind of thing, means so much to the kids. You should have seen my great god child's face last year when she heard that the dail had given Santa air space clearance.

Lady said my niece was the image of me...don’t see it myself (she’s as cute as a button) but I’ll take it! P.S. I’m also meant to look like my aunt who is a NUN!

Watching R2D2 kneading dough and baking fresh bread for me.:)

Just 300ml of water and 500gr of sunflower ready mix with a handful seeds added gives me a wonderful smelling loaf of 750gr for christmas.

This morning, I decided a bit more to go to O'Briens cafe located in a certain petrol station. Low & Behold the O'Briens cafe was all closed off, this morning Christmas Eve (The Petrol Station and food market was open). I left without buying anything.

Went to my local petrol station, less than half the distance to aforementioned establishment. Got Double Expresso from machine and bought a danish pastry. All coffee free today, cashier said, I only had to pay €2 for danish pastry.

So much TH - it's that time of year.

The smell of the baked ham, family excitement, old friends, smiles and decent weather ahead.

Chilling out on the sofa after a tasty sausage sandwich and a cup of tae with the wee one. Just back after telling our families that wee one version 2.0 is on the way. Time to let the belly out

Also TH my nephew came to visit and I was feeding him and then they put him on the floor and he can't quite crawl yet but was dragging himself along to try and grab the cups and then I pushed the cups away he'd go after them again and then he grabbed a cup and sat up and was banging it mad on floor shouting mad .
