Tis the Season.

I've no idea how it happens - I'm presuming though that it's one of those 'chicken-and-the-egg scenarios' - but Christmas always seems to catch me at my lowest point. It's always the day of the year when I'm guaranteed to be ill, homesick, lonely, exhausted or anxious.

But then Boxing Day! I've found the cure for what ails me - going out for a long beer garden session with a good friend, and laughing a lot.

Now I just have to recruit friends for a Christmas Eve session next year, and then I'll have the perfect solution to my Christmas alaise.

Solved!

A New Spin on an Old Favourite.

'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Except for the highly caffeinated Redhead who had stupidly offered to host her family for brunch and who will be cleaning and cooking like a crazy person until 2am Christmas morning.

And people say I don't have the Christmas spirit!
