Wassaily Bob

I've got the tree up and the rest of my Christmasy bits and pieces early this year so I'm very pleased with myself. Normally - or at least for the last twenty years or so we have been away in the sun until the week before Christmas and then it's been a mad rush to get organised. This last year (due to ill health) not mine I hasten to add, we've made the decision to put long haul travel on stop.

I've called this blip Wassaily Bob because that was how Christmas decorations were always referred to when I was growing up. The funny thing is, I've yet to meet anyone else who uses this name; but you never know - maybe one of you out there is familiar with it too.
