WOW!, Kathryn!
What a Christmas gift! News of a new baby on the way!
You will be the youngest granny in the world.
I don’t feel as if it’s Christmas yet.
I think it doesn’t start for me until the second week in December, although I have done a bit of shopping and made 4 Christmas cakes and three puddings.
I can’t imagine Christmas on the river, camping.
In Ireland we think of heat and indoor comforts and food (although the weather has been very mild the last few days-13 degrees)
It will be wonderful to be with your family for the Christmas holiday and being off work makes such a difference. I hear you on the skimping and panic that we all experienced in the past. I always BORROWED on the double to make sure I would get the presents etc to make everything appear normal but of course I would lose at least half of what I borrowed…then real panic would set in.
Thank God those days are over, Kathryn.
A Christmas free from self destruction is the best present we can give ourselves.
Imagine your baby is going to be a mother!
The best reason you ever had to kiss gambling goodbye, forever. X
