The long day before

After building two kids bikes, one for a seven year old and three year old and finally mastering the art of break adjustment, I deserved and enjoyed two cans of Stella 4%. Not exactly party mode but I did finish building the bikes at 12am after starting at 10pm (I was distracted by Christina Aguilera in Burlesque). I was also winding down from doing the Christmas rounds. You know visiting friends and family, traveling from one house to the other, seeing different smiling faces pleased to see you.
For the first time in a long time I'm going out today (christmas eve) but only for a few drinks, be back home by 8pm. Drinking with my mates and kids godparents. Should be an evening of fun and laughter.
The cycle begins again, you put the kids presents under the the tree and try and make as little noise as you can. While sipping Santa's brandy/rum/scotch delete applicable or add your own! And is it worth it? Hell ya it is to see the look on your kids faces that reminds you of your faces when you where their age and believed.
But again the kids are happy to have their loved ones there and easily forget the presents.
Just one more thing i'm glad I had some vouchers from work for Waitrose because I bought about 6 items which come up to £48.50 but I had change! My vouchers were worth £50. Wish I bought something for £2 and went to another superstore!

Hope your Christmases are what you hoped they would be. One love
