Overwhelmed
Thursday, December 27, 2012 at 7:00PM
We’ve had a wonderful couple of days and our Christmas was everything we could have hoped for – and more.
Quite how Father Christmas manages to squeeze so much into my stocking I have no idea, but squeeze in a lot he does and once again, the surprises kept on coming, right down to the toe.
The turkey was the best ever and even though it was the smallest we’ve ever had, we have still got plenty for sandwiches.
The cracker jokes were suitably groan-inducing – eg. what do you get when you cross a snowman and a vampire? Frostbite! I did rather like getting a red sports car in mine, though.
Opening presents later, we were surprised to find that in one case, someone else had opened it first! Diana, the TSA had clearly been through your suitcase pretty thoroughly, hadn’t they?
As we sat savouring the last drops of wine, doing our best to finish every last morsel of the teaspoonful of Christmas pudding I’d persuaded everyone to try, the most beautiful (double) rainbow appeared in the sky across the valley.
What a day.

Sounds like a perfect day Gill and what a beautiful end to it provided by mother nature.
I'm happy to hear that Delia came through for you again. How many pounds was your "smallest" turkey ever? Here in Philadelphia, we were not afflicted with the snow that much of the U.S. Midwest received in their stockings. Our winter weather advisory is scheduled for tomorrow, but I think it will be quite benign compared to what others experienced.
That was a most excellent double rainbow!
Best wishes for a healthy and contented 2013. 2013!?!
