It's Christmas Day!
Did you get everything you wanted from Father Christmas?
I slept in until around 10am, yet years ago, when I was a young boy, I would wake up around 5am. I'd excitedly go downstairs to retrieve the presents that the big man would have left me in front of the fireplace. I'd 'heave' the (real) stocking upstairs back to bed and unwrap everything carefully.
Father Christmas had a funny sense of humour! Some of the presents I unwrapped were mine already! But there was always something that I really wanted. One year, he left me a wrapped shoebox marked 'DIY KIT' which contained all manner of things. For example colored pencils and paper, safety scissors, sticky tape, paper glue, balsa wood, etc.
Breakfast was served after milking and after church, we'd come home and open our presents. This year I'd been given money by Simon to spend on 'reference' and 'how to write so and so' books.
I've had a 'messenger' chat just with my friend Bodie. It's 17:12 now, and I'm going to 'publish' this now and come back to it later.
