Thanks for your Christmas memories Jerry, My father would arrive after Christmas lunch at my granmothers , where we would all gather,dressed in a red suit and beard, his cover was almost undone one year when my cousin Michael asked why Father Christmas was wearing Uncle Reg's shoes!The same year dad went off down the steps saying Ho Ho Ho ! and was gone for about an hour. One of the neighbours had seen him in the street and asked him in for a Christmas drink, my mother had a sense of humour failure when he returned.
I have all the family arriving this evening so I hope Father Christmas knows that three little people will be hanging up their stocking on my fireplace. Bill has covered the house with white lights and stocked up on logs, I finish here at the salon about 3 this afternoon, so I will sit by the fire with a mulled wine and think about Christmas pasts, and look forward to making memories for my little grand children.
Happy Christmas to everyone at the table, it has been a lovely place to come and visit, to make new friends, meet old friends, share the happy times and receive comfort in the sad times.
Mulled wine and mince pies on the table.Have a wonderful holiday

Wendy
