I don’t know about your calendar but
ours announces there are just four more sleeps to the big day. You know the one. Christmas Day. That one.
There is simply no getting away from it - Christmas day is around four
corners. The signs have been there
since Halloween but now they are totally utterly and absolutely in your face.
Similar to the lists Santa likes to
make, there are both good and bad signs that Chrimbo is almost here. I thought I’d start with the bad signs.
I know it’s Christmas when:
I approach the till in Eason’s
sideways with a suspicious lump under my coat.
Upon opening it, the contents spill all over the counter and I hiss at
the startled shop assistant, “Quickkkkkkkk! Fire them into a bag before the
kids appear!”
I become quite good at commando sign
language where I jab two fingers at Mister Husband, then at my own face, wave
them towards the kids and finish by denying that I did not just give him the
finger in the book shop. I was just
signing at him to “keep the kids away.”
I’m sick. Or the kids are. Or the dog is. The humans have a tummy bug. The dog ate some chocolate coins – including the
wrappers and then savaged the advent calendars.
I can’t see the counter top for the
lists. Lists. Lists everywhere.
I am fed up receiving phone calls from
couriers looking for directions to my house.
I never thought I’d say it but……………...is
that bloody Fairy Tale of New York again???? and could someone please tell George
Michael, it’s gave and not “geve you
my heart?”
Home and Way is over until January.
I have the fear. The fear that I will forget someone. Or something.
And then there are the good signs. The very good signs.
There’s mountains of chocolate in the house
and rivers of wine.
The stairs are strangled under fairy
lights.
There are two thousand three hundred
and twelve batteries in the bowl on the counter.
Brussel sprouts are the Veg de Jour
There’s 4 sleeps left on the advent
calendar
I’ve got Vienetta in the fridge!
The boys get their Christmas holidays
tomorrow! Two whole weeks of rest
time.
I’ve got premixed gin and tonics in
the fridge!
All of my shopping is complete.
Most of my presents have been
distributed.
It really is almost here. It really is. Happy Christmas everyone!
