Merry Blogging Christmas!


The tree

Happy Christmas from Glasgow! Fun and games over the Festive season included these highlights:-

  • A tree which was over four feet tall this year (see right)
  • Cooking a Christmas lunch for seven with the world's largest turkey, and getting it (almost) right
  • Watching the kids' faces when they opened their presents - especially Emma's 'Visual Encyclopedia'
  • JP's amazing Christmas Eve meal and Magnus helpless with giggles trying to tell a long, rather naughty and actually not very funny joke
  • Flying to London after Christmas and seeing Holly and Jamie run towards me in their wee red jumpers
  • Snow on Christmas Day!
  • Emma and I winning Disney Trivial Pursuit on DVD. (How sad is that?)

It was a great time with all the family - on both sides. However, even as we put leftovers in tupperware and took our bottles to the recycling area, the awful events in South East Asia were unfolding. I'm about to go to the Disasters Emergency Committee to donate money and help bring aid to the area. If your Christmas was as good as mine, go there too and give what you can.
