Tree's a crowd

"Did either of you two ask Santa for a maths computer?" George seems to be asking. I'm sure he'll love it once his Lego frenzy subsides.

It's been a day of Playstation, setting up iPod, playing darts and building Star Wars Lego kits - with a delicious lunch and loads of lazing about thrown in.

The day started with a laugh too: after the kids had gone to bed, we'd moved the little table with Santa's whisky and Rudolf's carrot. This morning George, thinking it had disappeared, bellowed "Santa must have been really hungry. He's eaten the table!"

Merry Christmas, one and all.
