I must start by wishing anyone who cares to read this drivel a very merry Christmas. I realise that as an atheist I should feel ashamed to do this, but sod it...it's Christmas. We got to bed quite late, so we were not rushing out of bed too early, and the girls are slightly beyond the whole leaping put at five in the morning. They got to bed quite late as they had set up Mrs Plug. Eldest has a mannequin and decided that it would be a good idea to dress it up, and give it a face...in fact her own face cast in resin. The finishing touch was a lace head dress, and then it was placed in our bedroom. Mrs Plug walked in to a dark room to see a shadowy figure that looked like Norman Bates's mother. Merry Christmas!!! The kids were still awake, and much hilarity ensued and half past two in the morning. We started the day with a little caffeine, but soon moved onto alcohol. Presents were handed out and I think were much appreciated, and we settled down to eat a large lunch cooked this year by Mrs Plug. It was actually quite pleasant to not be on cooking duty this year. We then spent the rest of the day playing board games, nodding off, and watching pretty awful television. A pleasant day all round.
