Christmas eve

We're in the playground. It's cold and raining a bit. The kids are getting very excited, are amending their letters to Santa (too late, I'm afraid) and bursting into carol every so often. Another child just recited a poem while on the swing, Santa would be proud!
All that's left to do is start off beef Wellington, red cabbage and check we've got enough roasting receptacles. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, it should be stress-free.
Oh and I still need to put all the decorations up and make the living room festive. The girls will get to watch a film this afternoon and the hope is that the playground will have tired them out.
Looking forward to lighting some candles this evening, all 100 of them (or thereabouts). Will count them later and maybe change blip picture.
