Away with you Santa

I spent much of the week leading up to Christmas dealing with some practical issues and nothing says Christmas like legal administration. So I approached it with a mild sense of foreboding, but actually we had a nice meal out Christmas day, my daughter loved her presents and the away trip yesterday was the perfect Boxing Day activity.
But I have sympathy with those who view the Christmas period in the same way a sailor thinks of a squally patch ahead. If you can get through it relatively unscathed, that's a result. So, I've enjoyed it, but we can do away with the Christmas stuff now.
