About now, all I can think is - roll on the 29th of December! Then all this Christmas insanity will be over and I'll be able to sit on the balcony, read my book and sip (swill) margaritas.
Well, look who sounds like the Christmas grinch. I really do love Christmas - it's just getting through all this stuff beforehand that's taking its toll.
We had a lovely dinner at the Auckland sister's house last night. It was great to catch up with Mum and Dad before the went to Adelaide, and with my brother and his family (who we won't see for Christmas).
So, a quick catch-up of the last two days.

I love Christmas but do love the calm after Christmas, the blobbing around with a book sounds like me!
What are salmon wings?
