Best day of the year

Christmas Eve. Lost ourselves in the Hobbit this afternoon, sad there will be no more hobbitses escapades to look forward to. I was talking to Sam afterwards, asked him what he thought Legolas did to occupy himself between trilogy adventures, he said he was a Freelance Elf, which I think is like a very polite mercenary. Back home to light the fire, watch movies, burn the santa letters up the chimney and force sam to tidy his room......properly this time....for Dave's dad arriving to stay. And arrive he did, and then it was shower time for the kids, Christmas Eve pyjama presents, hanging up the stocking, plate out for Mr C, carrot out back for big old red nose Rudolph and now they are hopefully settling down for the night before Christmas. And now I'm alternating a glass of wine and lempsip, waiting until the all clear so I can get to work on some present business.......
