It's Christmas Day Tomorrow!

It's true. Christmas Day falls on the same date very year. Every year that is except 2013, when we have an extra celebration. Our son in law is home for a couple of weeks and as he wasn't about for the real Christmas, we decided to have another full family Christmas, tomorrow! I decorated the tree on Thursday and put up some other decorations just like we did in December. It seems very strange, but it is important that everything is done just the same. As today is Christmas Eve, the vegetables have been prepared, puddings are made and the table has been laid. Thirteen of us trying to fit into our dining room, but somehow we will manage and it will all add to the fun. Of course Matt has his presents to open (I hope he likes them) but there is at least one for everyone else so that the day seems quite the same. Stockings in the morning and games in the afternoon....who knows, maybe we will even have snow.
This week has been a real mixture. The weather ha seen very changeable. Quite a lot of lovely sunny spells along with very blustery periods and lots and lots of rain! Neil and myself picked up Riley from Taunton on Tuesday evening. He had been staying at the vets there since Saturday. Poor little thing seems to spend more time there than at home with us. I still don't know if he will ever get over the meningitis and other problems he has but I hope and pray that he does. He deserves to be a happy lively puppy again very soon.
I have been keeping up with my photo a day challenge and have completed every day for January. I am trying to add them to a 365 calendar so if it works I will post the complete month. For now, my favourite, day 29 Grow is on today's blog.
Well, that's it for today. I need to get some sleep so that I'm ready for the busy day ahead and even hang up my stocking. Oh and I would also like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
