It’s finally dawned on me that it’s nearly Christmas! I’m not even slightly prepared yet. By that I mean that I’m not in the “Christmas spirit” if you see what I mean? Work is really busy at the moment and we have three deadlines next week and I’ve been concentrating on that more than thinking about what happens after next Tuesday.

Plans are in place though as we have a work Christmas lunch on Thursday and on Friday we are visiting Santa’s grotto with the kids. Fortunately, I have a wonderful wife whom has ensured that we have done our Christmas shopping and sent out Christmas cards etc. Otherwise, we’d be having fish ‘n’ chips for Christmas if I was in charge…
