For me: Mince pies baking right now and off to a large family and friends gathering this evening, before trying to put the kids pressies under the tree whilst very tipsy!
If I fall asleep before that point again or drop them all on the stairs again I might be single tomorrow 
best behaviour....

Just chillin out at the in-laws before carol singing with other villagers around the local farms and stately homes on the edge of Yorkshire Dales
Whilst this is not something i would normally choose to do it is very enjoyable and the good people of Yorkshire make us feel very welcome.
Merry Christmas one and all

Uploading photos from a race this morning. It's the rock'n'roll lifestyle that attracts me to photography.

Finished work last week, been doing various weddings, family visits, meals out, last-minute-shopping-dash, mulled wine at the German market plus some ice skating down the Princes Street Gardens rink. Off to meet mates from my old work for a few bevvies tonight, then wee nightcap with the missus, bro and mo-in-law.I wish.
Working since yesterday until 6th January, so I miss every single bloody day of it.

For about the last 13 or 14 years I've always nipped in to town for a couple hrs for a few quick beers! Mrs ws would then pick me up about 5, and home to have fun with the kids etc. Not this year though, shes really poorly and really upset coz me and the kids having fun down here in the lounge. Not a good start to Christmas, fingers crossed for tomorrow!!

Signed on at midday
However, I reckon I only have to do it once more before I start my new job
Chopped up some carrots and parsnips to help the wife, helped to tidy up the house and in the last hour I have been having a few drinks.
Happy Christmas everyone!

Had nice dinner planned with the in-laws who are up from England since a few days til Boxing Day. Christmas Eve is were in Germany the main celebration happens, so it is always special to me being from there. Unfortunately my dad-in-law had to be brought into hospital emergency wise this morning, so my soh and his mum are in hospital for an indefinite time tonight and I am here by myself. Main thing is the old man is in no immediate danger anymore but will have to go under the knife tomorrow.
