And so that was Christmas.
Our festive five day family reunion in a beautiful rented farmhouse is over and we have all gone out separate ways again.
Now we enter those strange days between Christmas and the New Year, the awkward intermission.
I was looking forward to getting back home and just relaxing with some new vintage toys Santa brought me, but it looks like Grandparenting is never done. Our daughter's been ill whilst we've all been away together in North Yorkshire and needs a break from the kids to fully recuperate.
I'll relax in 2025!
What are you up to in the build up to New Year readers?
Hope you had a groovy time at that farmhouse! Post pix if you can! SFZ
ReplyDeleteWill do SF. It was home from home in the countryside thanks. Hope you had a lovely Christmas too.
DeleteI'm chilling and trying to avoid stuffing my face and drinking beer. Enjoying a brief intermission of calm, as my wife is in work and my son is out carousing. Daughter and grandchildren probably readying themselves for a frontal assault at tea time. For now, it's enjoying my gifts, watching Marvels 'What If?' And doing a little light modelling to keep my hands busy. Then nodding off with my dogs on my lap! Bill
ReplyDeleteYou'll be in the midst of family again Bill. Hope everyone's happy and healthy.
DeleteThe build up to New Year's will be the tear down from Christmas! (except for the train layout - that stays 'til after New Years! LOL)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, plenty of Christmas movies to choose from.
ReplyDeleteNot so many New year's movies...
I can think of Strange Days,
George Pal's Time Machine and I run out!
