T'was the night before Christmas

J couldn't decide this morning whether it was more exciting that his cousins we've coming today or (hopefully) Father Christmas will visit tomorrow.

A lovely catch up, all be it far too brief, with my sister and family.

My traditional start of Christmas followed with the crib service at church then on to the neighbour's for drinks. The children were asleep quickly this evening and with my Santa duties done it was time for mulled wine at my friend Charlotte's and Midnight mass to see in Christmas day.
