I am getting my hair done tomorrow for the Christmas can you believe I am actually saying that, I'll get himself to write the cards tomorrow

Crowdedhouse them girls of yours are so cute

Watched ‘Love the Coopers’ this evening as well. Nice movie. Better than most cheesy Christmas 24 movies. The Christmas Chronicles on Netflix very much worth a look as well.

Pray for mojo. My old firms christmas party yesterday. The pub was rammed at 3pm. I have to play in a work golf thing at 1pm. Im not a golfist and I may puke or cry or both.

Christmas concert tomorrow night to look forward to. http://www.dubaiopera.com/showlist/jingle-bell-favourites-3/

Morning Elves....what awful weather......hard to sleep last night with the wind and rain. I spent yesterday doing the pots for the graves.
They turned out just lovely. I think it is the last thing you can do for your relatives that have passed. Tiny Christmas Tree in the middle
then a mix of primroses, pansies, ivy, hyacinth bulbs kind of ready to bloom, some daffs ready to peep out. Then I got some fab
battery candles, with Christmas writing around it in EuroGiant for E1.50. The candle wick flickers, and the base is lit up as well.
Some value for E1.50. Then some baubles on sticks, and on my Dad.s one I got a mini Santa Hat on top of a red bauble, with
I Love Dad on it. Delighted with them.
Also went to bottle bank, and clothes bank from big tidy done in wardrobes/hot press.
My heart jumped with I went into Christmas Countdown and saw 12 days to go !!!!
Thnk it is time to be buying Vouchers for those I cant think of stuff for.
Jude13...can u send us some sunshine please......Just checked meteireann....and it seems to be rain galore for forseeable
future.....

Picked up the RTE guide last night. Haven't gotten so much as a peek inside it yet. Will sit down with a pen later and mark all the things I want to see (and then most likely forget all about it again).

I also bought The Grinch on DVD for us to watch over the weekend - the 1966 one, a staple from my childhood. We had it on tape with the Flintstones Christmas (where Fred was Santy - anyone else remember that? He had to work at a department store to make extra money). We'll also be getting our real tree this weekend - bit late but Mr. CL has been away for work for over a week now
