How wonderful to hear that you are off to Sydney for Christmas - what a treat!

I am about to incur the hatred of all g'netters by saying that I have finished all my C*****s shopping and most of it is wrapped! This is not because I am totally obsessional, but because various family will be visiting in the next few weeks and it is cheaper to send the presents home with them than pay the postage!

The cost of stamps these days is enough to make most people send fewer cards.

I am trying to sum up the energy to buy and then write my C cards. I leave for Sydney in 4 weeks time and have to have everything to do with 'That Word' done by then. I am considering only sending to friends who I rarely see, or people I want to keep in touch with and forget everyone else. Does that sound a bit Mrs Scroogey? I have already bought, wrapped and delivered presents for DD3 and her family, which was enough to propel me towards the wine cellar for medicinal help and I know once I arrive in Sydney, I will be straight into C stuff there. I do love that time of year, but things seem to be so out of control these days - I used to be happy with a couple of presents and my Dad's army sock filled with a pencil, notebook, tiny doll dressed as a fairy, a hankie, walnuts and a tangerine!! Oh, the excitement, I can remember it so well........
