Another Christmas Gone

Well, you spend so long preparing for it and in the blink of an eye Christmas is over.  Stuffed to the hilt with food (which is good), square eyes from watching the television and a living room that looks like a rubbish tip.  Yep, good old Christmas.

It’s great having children around to celebrate Christmas.  Mine were delighted at the little ‘taster’ presents left at the end of their beds, the additional decorations Santa had put up, the letters to each of them from Santa thanking them for the food and drink and of course the pile of present he leaves each one of them.

The first hour of waking is the most magical, the oohs and aahs before they even get downstairs.  It’s what Christmas is all about and makes all the effort well worth it.

They notice everything though.  Normally Santa wraps each child’s presents in different paper and one type only. 

This year he had used 2 different types of wrapping paper and they had picked up on it!  The attention to detail is so important and very essential.

I shall continue trying to reclaim the living room back (or at least some of the floor space).  It’s that fine line between trying to tidy a bit while leaving some of the new presents out to play with. 

As long as we can walk the length of the living room without treading on anything and hurting ourselves in the process then I’ve done my job!
