Christmas routine

[Squaredy]

I totally agree with some of the comments above.  I think gift giving has gone way too far.  But of course if you say that you are called a scrooge.

 

The expectation kids have these days is truly horrible.  Luckily my two are at the age where they mainly receive money.  But I always say to them expect nothing, and appreciate anything you get.  I think they get it; but we live in a highly materialistic society. 

 

And then after everyone has overspent at Christmas some people have the cheek to whinge about the cost of living!

Started of Christmas Eve with a few drinks with a neighbour in the afternoon , took the dogs out in side ways wind and rain at dusk in hope of a brace of woodcock but they where flying at insane speeds off the wind but was great to see.

back in for more drinks and a film.

Christmas day is opening presents with the kids then too the in-laws for dinner and drinks.

Boxing Day is taking the misses to the local hunt meet and looking after the kids before sorting out yesterdays mayhem , bubble and sqeek for supper and about 4 pints of home spring water to get refreshed from the last 38 hours of drinking.

Now back to reality and sorting a puncture in the transit and this weeks firewood.

A day of relaxation and over indulgence 😄

Walk the dogs, watch a movie.

A day of fond, not melancholic, reflection. Of people, dogs, places and things.

Christmas must do...To raise a glass to all those at sea and to those no longer with us.
