A Change is as good as a rest

On Christmas Eve, we celebrated Christmas for a gaggle of youngsters who couldn't be with us on Christmas day. Chicken dinners, presents under the tree, the inevitable quick trip to the 24 hour store for batteries, and friends and parents helping undo reluctant wrappers and helping the younger ones learn which toys were suitable for use where.
On Christmas Day, a less exuberant (but much enjoyed) Christmas for adult friends and family - and our first chance to try out the kitchen - fitting finished earlier this month. And it worked fabulously!
On Boxing day, we were all getting computer withdrawl symptoms ... and it turned into a normal working day. Well - not QUITE a normal working day, as I'll be telling you in a few days.
A great time to celebrate and be thankful for what we have. Good health, great friends, family and contacts. Jobs we enjoy. Space to do what we want, and enough of most things to meet our needs (and things can always be adjusted to ensure we continue to have enough of most things).
