Simply having a wonderful hanika!!

Well, I know there are still officially 10 days of Christmas to go, but I've already found myself asking people if they "had" a good Christmas.

Our Christmas was pretty standard (only in the sense that as usual we were (and still are) all ill. Lara's dad came to stay and so we went to my folks (and took him with us). The kids did well to say they were under the weather. The first presents were opened at around 7am, and the last ones were opened at 7.30pm with no more than a 20 minute gap between any two openings all day.

Lara seems happy with her DS, Maisey has a new found love of prams and dolls, and Zak is now surrounded by Wall:e gadgets and gizmos. As for me, I'm the proud owner of a new guitar effects pedal (although it hasn't arrvied yet). You can't beat the Boss ME-50.

And that's it. Another completed Christmas. Tune in again next year.
