Christmassyness

For me Christmas doesn't really start until I fly back to Guernsey to be with my family. I don't bother with decorations in my flat because there is no point, but I do put up Christmas cards.

The only problem with this is that whilst everyone else is feeling the seasonal spirit I am just working my butt off to get everything done before I go home. It seems that I have twice as many things to do before I go on holiday, and the time before Christmas is just the worst. So, I am feeling very knackered and very stressed at the moment. Which is why I am sitting at home in my pyjamas doing paperwork because my very lovely boss has given me some time out of the office to do it.

I suppose the bonus of all this is that when I go home I feel like I have been thrown into a Christmas wonderland. There are presents to be wrapped, trees to be decorated and food to be made. Because my Mum is a teacher it all gets condensed into the few days when she ends term which usually coincides with me getting home.

I am hoping Christmas will be special this year. It will be strange because my lovely Gran Nora won't be there and that means that everything will be very different because we won't all be at her house. It will also be different because The Mister is coming home with me too. I am excited and scared about this as it will be the first time they have all met. Happiness is winning out at the moment though.

I really wanted to post this Youtube video but I still can't work out how to do it which is irritating me a lot. (please can someone sort it out/work it out for me?)

So, instead here is a link to Foy Vance and Duke Special do Silent Night

Gorgeous, and makes me feel a teensy weency bit Christmassy. Enjoy!
