My relaxed Christmas Eve following a night shift didn't happen as I has to take delivery of my new sofa - It was quite exciting, but not exactly relaxing! I got the phonecall at nine, so didn't have chance for sleep. Did a mini-shop for bread and had phonecall from my lover early afternoon. I went to bed this afternoon, so of course now wide awake at one a.m. this Christmas morn!
I'm roasting my turkey overnight and smell is wafting nicely. I've not done all my house sorting, but did get around to the washing up so I won't awake to a pigsty! I've been listening to radio and doing puzzles this evening, while admiring my Christmas lights. I've just been playing Christmas carols and songs and enjoying my own company. Would be lovely to have my lover with me, but I do enjoy my own company.
my family will be around for Christmas dinner and tea (spot the working class roots!)and same again on Boxing Day. I'll enjoy having them here and looking after them and entertaining, but there is something rather lovely about them going away in the evening and having the quiet enjoyment of my home again.
Merry Christmas!
