Christmas Eve Eve

The office closed down for Christmas yesterday, so I’ve had my first day of Christmas break here at home today.    Suddenly, after my musings of the weekend, I feel festive.    I’ve had a lovely day!

I slept in late despite frequent visits from the cat (who wanted me to get up and finally managed to pull me from my bed at 8:30 a.m.) and the day started with a giant mug of hot chocolate, sitting on the sofa in the lounge still in my dressing gown.   For the first time in an age I had pulled the curtains wide (usually I leave them shut during the day, as the heat comes on half an hour before I get home and it stops all that hard earned and paid for gas going straight up the cold windows) and today I was able to look out at the melting snow, and also the Christmas decorations on the window sill.

Drinking my hot chocolate I reviewed today’s entry in the Radio Times and worked out what I could plan my day around.   The main objective for today was to cook a thawing chicken (it’s in the oven now – hot chicken rolls for supper) and to run the car down to the petrol station and fill up the tank for the weekend.  So, that ;eft plenty of time today for hot baths, catching up with friends, tv viewing and eating mince pies and chocolates.  Yes, I’m feeling festive alright!

Today would have been an ideal Christmas Eve – it’s felt like a Christmas Eve – relaxed and happy.  Now I’m wondering what tomorrow will be like – especially as I finished off the mulled wine in the bath this afternoon.

Ho ho ho hum.
