that it's Christmas Day three weeks today!
That means only two weeks of term left - all those Christmas productions and Carol Services - I almost miss it!
Actually, I never really feel Christmassy until I've been to a Carol Service and love having the carols on the TV on Christmas morning when I'm preparing the lunch.
When we were kids, our Christmas Day revolved around church - well it would as our dad was a Methodist minister. We would have our Father Christmas presents (if we'd been good) and then head off to church and would wait until after lunch to have our family presents.
These days, we don't go to church on Christmas Day and, even though our kids are grown up, I reckon Santa might still come, so we'll undoubtedly still do the peering round the sitting room door and asking excitedly, 'Has he been?' After breakfast we will probably have James's birthday and later in the morning we'll do family presents. (Or maybe the other way round!)
It makes it a very busy, but special day having a Christmas birthday (not as busy as the day he was actually born however!!!) And it has just struck me while writing this that he is actually going to be 25 this year - quarter of a century - gosh how old do I feel now?
If you asked James which of his birthdays has been the best so far, I have no doubt that he will say his 21st when we and Richard's family all went to New York for the holiday. What a magical city to be in for Christmas...
...but I'm sure Longfram will be just as magical this year Jim!!
LILY & ROSE
Here are some photos of Lily & Rose. There are a few from the first time we saw them when they were just 4 weeks old. They would fit on your hand at this age and didn't look much like westies!
