It is about 4:30pm on Christmas Eve. All the presents are wrapped, the tree is up, one stocking hangs on the wall (we have no fireplace) as Lucy tore down the other two! None of the presents are under the tree but we shall place them there after Lucy goes to sleep.
Lucy and Vaughan are at the pool and I am at home kicking about. Vaughan and I both had our last day of work yesterday and I already feel relaxed and settled into holiday and vacation mode. I will have a week and a half off from work. I will go back on the 5th. Vaughan will go back on the 12th. Our office does not officially open until the 12th but I am going back a week early as I have things to do before I go on maternity leave and I want to start my maternity one week earlier now, on 15 January. So, only two more weeks of work left once I start back!
Tonight we are off to Allison's house for a BBQ. The weather is not cooperating, it is raining and grey, but no matter, it will still be good fun.
Tomorrow we will open some gifts here and then head off to Anne's for the day at 10:30am. We will be there along with Julia, Matt and the kids and then Allison's family, including her parents who have just moved here from the US, will join us. The weather is supposed to clear up tomorrow so it should be a lovely day.
All my best to our friends and family around the globe. Hope you are enjoying the holidays with family and friends.
Love and happiness,
Jen
