At work Tinsel on the PC and lights scattered on the tree Time off to spend with the family Decorations throughout the house Christmas Tree too big, needles dropping on the floor Frantic last minute shopping for stocking gifts from the late night store Wrapping presents, writing cards ready to send Mince Pies and Mulled Wine drunk with friends Laughter from the GrandChildren excited for the day Elvis Christmas songs on in the car, set on loop to play Presents opened in pjyjamas sitting on the floor Lazy breakfast with the Kids, Grandchildren and more Late meal on the day Turkey, Pigs in Blanket, Roast Potatoes and veg, all the trimmings Christmas Pud and Brandy Sauce Turkey Stew and dumplings on Boxing Day Meals shared with the family, everyone helping with the food, sharing the load and spreading the love as everyone should Walks with the neighbours next door and anyone who wants to join in Popping into the Pub for a welcome beer Christmas Carols ringing out cheer Board games out and playing begins, rules changing, shouting, laughing out loud, a bit of playful cheating can be heard Wrapping up warmly with scarves, hats and gloves snuggling up to the one that you love.
I love this time of the year - don't you?
I don't have young ones to put out milk and mince pies for Santa anymore, that gets done at their houses but I do love Christmas time, family gatherings, shared meals with family and friends, wrapping presents, writing cards the works
