Sorry about that. My cat sometimes like to hijack the keyboard...

Anyway, this year's haul of presents was surprisingly small. But it was mainly due to the fact that my main prezzie was an iPod! And I love it. I can't put music on it until I get back to my other computer which has all my CD collection downloaded on it though. But even so, it's a fantastic toy! I also got chocolates, underwear (which I get every year, it's a seasonal tradition) and jelly beans, and a very nice hat. And I stuffed my face with mince pies, home made ones which are the best in the world...it's been a very laid back Xmas this year. Despite the fact that it gets more stressful and more damaging to your bank balance, I still love this time of year, I still can't sleep on Christmas eve, get up before dawn the next day to see what's in my stocking (another childhood thing I can't give up) and marvel at the tree with presents all around...and it's almost over! Amazing how quickly Christmas-and the year itself, come to think of it-passes by!

Season's greetings to all! I hope you're having a wonderful time, whatever you celebrate, be it Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah, or any midwinter revelry, make it a good one, have fun and enjoy whatever Santa has brought you!
