MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL

I've had a great day today. I was up just after 7am and it was lovely and quiet as no one else stirred for another hour and a half, it was bliss. I could shower and dress in peace. At about 8.30am the rest of the household started to get up and by 9.15am we were all ready and on our way to my parents' place.

Kate played Santa this year and sorted out all the pressies. I got some great gifts - paper weight, photo frames, Nintendo DS with three games and a case, a bottle of Amaretto, a bottle of Baileys, Phil Collins CD, Bay City Rollers CD, the following DVDs - Cool Runnings, Miss Congeniality, Love Actually, Star Wars I, II & III, Flash Dance, Saturday Night Fever, series 1 of Lewis, and the complete set of Inspector Morse. I also got a new mouse for my laptop (so Craig got his back), Eternity perfume, four cross stitch charts and some threads (pics to follow), AND....

...a ticket to go and see the stage version of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at Sunderland Empire in April! CCBB is my all time favourite film so I'm thrilled to bits that I'm going to see it on stage. Craig got a ticket too so I have company when I go. I can't wait. WOOHOO!

I'm bound to have forgotten something in that lot, so if I have I'll have to let you know at a later date. I hope everyone has had a great day and that Santa has been good to you all.
