So, the Christmas Holiday is nearly here! In 10 days we'll have ourselves a "Christmas Day!" I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really looking forward to it. For some reason, I simply can't wait this year. I've finished my Christmas shopping and I've only got the wrapping and baking left to do. There are, of course, a few odds and ends left to pull together, but before I know it, it will be time to travel home to Mom and Dad's. I'm looking forward to sitting by the warm fire with Biddy at my side and the caramel rolls that we get every Christmas morning...only Christmas morning!! I can't wait to see my family at Gran's on Christmas afternoon. The food. The treats. My mouth waters as I sit here thinking about it. I sit here wishing I wasn't at work, hearing the mindless, uninteresting mumblings of my colleagues, but rather at home, basking in the warm holiday spirit. I hope that the next 10 days bring you much happiness and joy. May you be surrounded by loved ones and blessed with good health. And while you're at it...don't forget to remember the REAL meaning of Christmas!!

Merry Christmas everyone!
