I know this is going back a day but i forgot to mention it before i put in the last entry. I was off sunday. My nephew stayed over saturday night, so it was nice that i was able to spend a bit of time with him on the sunday also. The little darling woke me up at 8.45am though. I was trying to get him to help me write my christmas cards, but he was having non of it. I was also trying to get him into Dogtanian and the three muskehounds but alas he was more interested in playing with the dog and the playstation. His mom picked him up about 1pm so then i did my ironing, wrapped up my last couple of christmas pressies and wrote my christmas cards. I then decided to have a afternoon nap, and woke up at 5.30pm. So again had a mad rush to get showered and dressed so i could get to church for 6pm. I got there for 6.15pm. It was the Carols by Candlelight service so the church was packed. They even had to put seats in the foyer. That is where i had to sit. For the last 10 plus years i have always sang in this service. Usually with the singing team, but last year as i had work commitements i sang in the choir. I thought that would take up less time, but they still threw in a last minute solo the week before the service. It was nice to be asked though, so i didnt mind really. This year was the first time i wasnt doing anything at all as i really couldnt fit in the time to get the practices. It was really wierd not being part of it, but it was wonderful to be able to watch it. After the service it was a mad rush to try and hand out my christmas cards. Giving out cards should be a wonderful thing, but it ends up being so manic, as you have to try and find everyone to give them their card. I was pleased that i managed to give out all but six of them. i just sat at the back of the church and gave them out as they walked past. An excellent idea i thought :-)
