Well this is interesting - it appears I didn't blog at all in November! I know I've been feeling a bit ambivalent about blogging; partly because I've been so busy, partly because I don't spend as much time on the computer when I'm not using it for work, and partly because I have nothing to talk about. Well, nothing I imagine would be of any interest to my thousands (ahem) of readers, anyway.
So it's "beginning to look a lot like Christmas" as they say, and Claire and I have already watched two Christmas movies, but we haven't started decorating and there are no big plans afoot for Christmas again this year due to Claire's work schedule. Working in a shop - nay, MANAGING a shop - means that she only gets one day off, i.e. Christmas Day. This is the third year running that we can't go to France to be with family and it's beginning to tick me off somewhat (I know it bugs Claire too).
Christmas has always been huge in our family, not only due to its size but also because my mum just "did" Christmas so well. Claire and I both love the season and she's bugging me to decorate tonight although I'm off out shortly for a doctor's visit, a Trustee Meeting AND a Trustee Christmas Dinner so who knows if I'll feel in the mood later. (Note to self - get Christmas boxes down so they're there if I feel like it).
Although I haven't got my act together to do a December Daily I am really enjoying Ali Edwards's usual offering. You can check out Day One here. (Note to Chrissie: I think she lives in Eugene!).
And to finish off, a festive offering that I saw on a friend's Facebook page. It is really fun (if you can ignore the apostrophes in the wrong place...):
