Santa is coming

How do you know Christmas is coming? There are Easter eggs in the supermarkets.

Anyway, look, I have my first Christmas chocolates. The picture is a bit blurry because I was shaking with excitement. They will go away now until we put the decorations up. We always have chocolates out to help with the arduous but festive task! Don't worry, I will be buying more. That's just the first tub.

Talking of chocolates. There was a box of chocolates at work. Now I understand that everyone made a very conscientious effort to eat them all... But they failed. With only about half a dozen left they were put on my desk. By the time someone realised and picked them up before I could eat them, it was too late. The deed was done. But hey, you got to be fast when it comes to me and chocolate!

Let's get back to Christmas. I have a Christmas album on my memory card along with all my other favourite albums that I listen to in the car. I spend all year fast forwarding this Christmas album! In fact me and the kids play Christmas song roulette on long journeys. We put my car music system (car stereo to me) on shuffle and then the first person to notice when a Christmas song comes on gets a sweet. Sometimes we can be merrily singing along and be half way through the tune before we realise it's a Christmas one. Well some, believe it or not, are ambiguous. Anyhow, the album came on the other day and instead of skipping it I decided what the heck! And I threw caution to the wind and played the album in its entirety. Christmas has come!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, but if the white runs out I'll move onto red!
