Dec. 25th, 2009 @ 12:01 pm Christmas Time, Misltetoe and Wine....
...only the last of these things will be making an appearance in my house this winter :)

Not that I don't enjoy Christmas - it's a week off work where I'm expected to sit in front of the telly and get drunk, which, frankly, is awesome - it's just that the wife and I don't realy "get" the festive part of it all. Possibly because we don't see our families at Christmas or possibly because we don't have kids to focus on (besides the cats). I don't know which but it just doesn't seem to happen in this house.

Anyway, enough of this. I'm off to listen to the soundtrack of "The Wicker Man" (the original, obviously) and then have Xmas dinner (beef) whilst watching Hellraiser on DVD!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Got woken up at 6:00 this morning by Talia screaming "Daddy, lights off!" And then had to read stories to her for about an hour and help her do a Jigsaw before she was dispatched off to Nursery. The other one is no trouble, and is currently asleep. Peace! A rare thing these days. So I've been beavering away on a short story inspired by Carol Singing in South Yorkshire, BDSM & Clive Barker.

This year seems to have shot past - it only seems like yesterday that Christopher was born, but he's over 7 months old now. I have just bought him/me a book about pirates for Xmas... as no doubt I'll be reading a lot to him as he grows up! Talia has turned into a real bookworm and sits there trying to read books on her. She speaks the bits she remembers and them talks gibberish for the bits she doesn't. We're going to start teaching her the alphabet shortly...
