Christmas Day Thank Yous

Just a quick blog on this rainy Boxing Day morning to say I hope everyone had a really lovely Christmas Day and to thank all my relies and friends for all the wonderful gifts we received and to Peter for the wonderfully thoughtful and intuitive presents he chose for me (he knows me better than I thought!).

The day started with me waking up at 6 and 'patiently' waiting for the alarm to go at 7.00am and for Peter to 'come to'. Then it was stocking opening time (yep, big kids that we are we still have them).

Mum and Dad were due to arrive at 10 O'clock so we had some Bucks Fizz and chocolate croissants and opened our presents before they arrived. Amongst the CD's I got was Susan Boyle's debut album - it is brilliant. Usually new 'TV discovered' stars are given dull covers to sing but this album is different - all the songs are personal to Susan and are stunning -'wild horses' is outstanding and totally haunting - go buy it people!

The day went well, Christmas Dinner was a success (I think!) but thank god we have a dish washer! Board games were played, and much sofa lounging took place.

Mum and dad left at about 8pm and the perfect end to the day was the very welcome comedy shows on Beeb 1 (The Royle Family and Gavin & Stacey).

Today we plan to stay in our night attire all day, look at and appreciate the lovely presents we received yesterday and consume leftovers. Perfect day ahead I think....

One of my presents from Peter yesterday was a Chinese Lucky cat (pictured above) with a waving paw - may he bring luck to everyone in 2010!
