Well a week to go until Christmas, and we have done nothing in the way of shopping. Mrs Plug always works at this time of year, and it is this that in effect pays for Christmas. I have been mad busy up until yesterday, and in many ways, I prefer to do things last minute. The whole build up to Christmas seems to be getting more and more elaborate and annoying each year. I endure it most of the time, but I do find it really unfair, particularly on those of us with kids and not a lot of money. I hope that we can just enjoy the break though without feeling all of those pressures. This year we are at home alone on Christmas Day, and then we are off to Sister in Laws for 2 days, then to Mother in laws for a day. I am sure it will be lovely, and I like the idea of switching off completely. I am continuing to read HITCH 22 which is excellent. One of the advantages of reading electronically is the ability to look up the definition of a word from within the book. In this book, I am finding that particularly useful. In the evening we sat and watched the Michael Buble Christmas special, which was awful in the extreme. I just do not get the fuss. He seems like a nice chap, and he has a pleasant voice, but really, is he that good? From young to old, he seems to be commanding a degree of affection that I don't understand. We then watched Ocean's Twelve, which was harmless enough, I had managed to avoid watching any of these films, so it was perhaps not the brightest thing to do to watch the second in the series first, but we managed to work it all out. I will now make the effort to watch the first one I think.
