Christmas and New Year Epilogue

Well, that'll be that then.  Decorations are down, rubbish has been taken to the dump, we're promising ourselves to go a walk tomorrow, I'm back at work on Wednesday and the kids are back at school on Thursday.  As always, it's been a very busy Christmas and New Year: Christmas Day at Elizabeth's, the pantomime in Glasgow (without Gerard Kelly - mixed emotions about that that); Hogmanay at the Lea Park in Grangemouth (OK - but not brilliant); and New Year's Day dinner at our house.

There were 24 of us for dinner on New Year's Day.  Slightly less than previous years, but the children are getting bigger, so it was still a bit of a squeeze. Also good that everyone got on with each other and that there were no arguments (well, nothing major, anyway).

All we have to do now is count the cost (which I can't believe) and start planning for next year.
