Christmas Eve
At last the knitting is finished. I did think of a few more things I could knit for even more people but have decided to bow-to-reality on this one and STOP! What is it about knitting and babies, once you start you want to see it inflicted on everyone else?
The last few presents are being wrapped this afternoon, Ron is coming home from work early and then tomorrow morning, after opening the parcels that have arrived from Australia, we head off to Ijsselstein armed with kerststol, chocolates, presents and wine to spend the weekend drowning in crumpled wrapping paper, witloff, cheese and gezelligheid! It is strangely warm which is a bit disapointing, I was hoping Jacob might get a white-ish christmas. In Melbourne, ten hours ahead, Mum has just been to the market and returned armed with fresh-from-the-sea oysters and prawns for Christmas day. I hear its lovely weather but quite mild. Good thing too with all those woolies to unwrap!
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas doing what they like doing best, and if that's ignoring Christmas then thats fine too. Special greetings to my most devoted commenters, Bob, Jane and hubby John Doe, Texas Hold Em, luba, napoleon and all the rest. Don't work too hard over Christmas!
