Im like a big kid i know lol
LOVE christmas, and Jonathan is so miserable around Christmas time so its great to have Miles around who is also excited, makes it rub off on me more and i have someone to share it with this year.
Well its been great this year - normally there is such a big build up to this one day and then its all over so fast its like - wow all that effort for one little, blink and you'll miss it, day lol.
But this year Miles is old enough to understand it. And ive not really done too much this year. Nomally i go out and buy the pressies and stress about having to drag the kids around the shops, then get home and spent hours wrapping them all up - well this year from early November i started to buy a gift or 2 a week and get them ready wrapped by the company.. so for a couple of months now presents have been arriving at my door, all i do is pop it under the tree :) i cant even remember half of what ive bought, it'll be a suprise for me too lol.. ive even bought family and friends gifts online and had them delivered to their house all ready wrapped - fantasitc!
So ive just sat back and its all happened this year - the only thing i did was go to the supermarket for the big shop on Wednesday and did the fish markets yesterday. But that wasnt even that bad as ive done my food shopping on-line for the past month or so, so it was actually nice to go out to the shops.
SO a stress free Christmas here - which hopefully means it will be a lovely day as so little effort went into it so we wont have such huge expectations of it.
We'll open presents all have breakfast then sit around the tree and open presents.. then we will light up the BBQ an have a feast of fish and salads at lunch time.
Then we will most likely jump in the pool and have a splash around in there.
Then later about 3pm we will drive down to Bondi - as we do EVERY year and have done since we emigrated here 10yrs ago.
Then we will stroll along the beach and end up with a pizza in one of the cafe's that are pretty much ALWAYS open.
One of these days it will be nice to do this with amily as of course its just the 4 of us.. perhaps we will get the family to come over and visit one Christmas.
Well Miles has been quite naughty yesterday, no idea what got into her, he is usually my good little man - Greta is the stroppy, tantrum throwing, basing things against her head/on the floor in frustration child!
SO i took some stickers of him i had bought for him and i put him to bed without a story... so see how he goes today - but if he is naughty again, Christmas will be postponed till boxing day - i reafuse to have a naughty child. Greta is fair enough as she is far too young to understand discipline just yet but Miles at 3.5yrs old is cerainly old enough to control his temper and frsutration.
All for now - i have a day of folding colthes and ironing to do! Oh and a trip to the park in there somewhere.
J i sof course workign but assures me he will be home early- erm yeah right!
