There’s something in the air…

Some folk may know that I’m a bit of a fan of Christmas. All that feel good, things aglow, tinsel-tastic build up just warms me'cockles in the middle of winter. Some years though definitely have me feeling more festive than others, and this year feels to be edging me more towards a Santa-sparkling festive crescendo. 

It’s a bit all change this year as normally its my family for Xmas and then we try and see Tanya’s family after if possible, but this year its Tanyas sister’s family and her parents for Xmas and then my brothers family for Hogmanay. It’s going to be quite the thing – 11 folk for the first few days and then 10 folk for the second part – somewhat the houseful which I luckily always enjoy provided we're well planned. And that's what it should be about. Quality time with those nearest and dearest. 

So whether its the festivities 'plus plus' and all the accompanying preparations, or whether it’s the recent early December snowfall and snowfun, or whether its Ly sharing our Xmas for the first time and us having lots of things to go to, I’m not sure. But whatever, I’m definitely excited. The puddings been stirred, cookings commenced, the tree’s up, the Xmas tunes are on, we’ve built snowmen and gone sledging…and there’s still party season, an Xmas ballet, Xmas films, Edinburgh and outdoor ice skating, and a whole host of other Xmas-tastic things to come. And its cold outside. 

So yes, there’s definitely something in the air….and I can’t wait.
