Christmas Eve
I like Christmas Eve. There's a real sense of anticipation in the air. Everyone's finishing their last minute preparations. In our house, Mum's peeling sprouts and putting the little crosses on the top. What are they for? Andrew's wrapping presents upstairs and Dad's sorting out the turkey. In a minute, I need to move and put up the Christmas cards, because they're all in a pile at the moment!!
Andrew read the Christmas story to Ben before he went to bed, the alternative 'Night Before Christmas', just to make sure he understands what it's really all about. Ben's really funny. I reckon this Christmas is the first he really understands what's going on all the time. He understands that Christmas is about Jesus being born, but can't understand why we get all the presents! He understands that Jesus had '2 dads'! Joseph & God. We decided Joseph is like Jesus' step-dad. It's the easiest way to explain it in the way the world is these days! When asked 2 weeks ago who was coming to visit soon, he said 'Grandma and Grandad'! I think so far we're managing to keep off most of the Santa superstition!
Still not sure whether I'll be able to get on with the blogging thing, but maybe when I tell people I'm blogging and I know people are reading it, I might think of what to write.
Well, Merry Christmas (CSM says it should be 'Merry') to anyone who's reading!

Starting off
Well, a few weeks ago, Andrew asked me why I don't do blogging, and I thought, 'well cos I'd be no good at that kind of thing', but I've decided to give it a go, so here goes. Not really surely yet what this will look like, or what sort of stuff I'll write about yet, but all will be revealed (to me as well, I guess!) Hopefully with Christmas coming up, I'll have some time to get on with some of this!!
