I am pretty contrary over Christmas,some aspects I love,some I don't love so much,but rather than ban Christmas ,perhaps we could ban the word perfect in relation to Christmas,I love the quiet cosy times,and the simple pleasure of hot warming soup,mince pies,mulled wine, in fact cosy is one of my favourite words,peace is another word,and is a gift I would love to give to all,I love the carols,and the idea of frosty walks,and a child's face in the wonder of it all the part I don't live so much is jingle tills,and shopping,but enjoy the rest in a quiet on looking sort of way.H ave just put up tree,son is snoring the excess of his firms party off and the pervading fumes of beer are abounding,santas list has been posted along with the cards ,gifts are halfway wrapped with pretty bows etc,and I am excited at seeing the faces on the day...nellie loves the love and warmth,and hopefully bridges being built in families that are troubled so in a quiet peaceful way it's nearly crimbo.
If I was on my own,I would love to work in a crisis shelter over Christmas ,that to me is a true meaning of givingxxxxxlove nellie
