Sleigh Bells and galoshes

Ho Ho Ho!

Yes the festive season is once again upon us and I'm loving it. Actually I am, for once in a long time, I'm actually looking forward to Christmas and not because after Christmas we all get back to normal and carry on with our lives. I've been looking forward to my holiday with gusto, have you met gusto, say hello! It's ok, I've not been on the egg nog yet, what is egg nog, sort of sounds nice until you consider the egg. Hmm!

Well the presents are wrapped, the food is in, its raining outside and Frankie Goes to Hollywood are finishing off Power of Love for the umpteenth time. David Tennant is out of hospital and seen by Pauline in the streets of London - oh what I would give to see David Walking down the streets of Annan - yeah, like that would happen! Although stranger things have happened, dunno what, but they have happened.

I almost miss the frost and the icy blast, beats the rain anyday. I'm glad its the holidays, I've been needing this break and not feel bad for taking an impromptu day off on thursday because of the asthma and low blood thingy. At least now I can quite happily snuggle up on the sofa, watch the kids batter hell out of each other on the playstation or watch re-runs of Doctor Who and hug the cushion as I smile at David.

I'm going to make a few resolutions, I always do. I used to make 20, because I could guarantee I would achieve maybe one or two of them, but this time I'm limiting myself.

1. To have my first sci-fi novel published in Autumn 2009
2. To meet David Tennant before the end of 2009
3. To look after ME more health and wealth wise
4. To have a profitable bank account for once.

I need to look after myself more next year. I mean let's face it, I care about everyone else all of the time and I ignore myself equally as much. So for once and more often than I do at the moment, I aim to pamper myself, treat myself and be selfish more.

Ok, I do also aim to care for others, but I aim to care for myself in equal measures. The first two resolutions kind of cover that anyway, becoming a successful writer and meeting the other man of my dreams has to be worth aiming for, don't you think?

So off to blitz the house in order to achieve a quiet, less stressful Christmas - HA WHO AM I KIDDING!

I may or may not be on my blog for the entire festive period, so will say this now: MERRY XMAS ONE AND ALL AND HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR AND GET PLASTERED, YOU'LL HAVE THE WHOLE YEAR TO GET OVER ANY EMBARRASSING MOMENTS BEFORE YOU DO THEM ALL AGAIN ANYWAY.
