"May your days be merry"















Christmas is upon us. I am so happy. In fact I am feeling very merry indeed today. It hasn't all been smooth sailing though. I heard someone say yesterday that if you're not enjoying the season - you're missing the point. I've taken this on board, and am letting the little stresses fade away with a little help from some laughter.



Stress: The decorated Christmas tree fell over. All over rover.

Laughing it off: After a little rescue, it is re-potted and re-decorated. It looks better the second time around. 















Stress: Not having time to vacuum before Erica and Aaliah came over.

Laughing it off: Being glad that I didn't after the Aaliah vs. Cookie massacre.



Stress: Figuring out quantities for having ten people for breakfast on Christmas morning.

Laughing it off: Oh well if I don't cook enough food it's not as if they'll go hungry all day.



Stress: Not having completed my Christmas shopping.

Laughing it off: Tackling it with Erica and her Cherub.

NB: 16 month old cutie survives 4 hours of shopping with not a single tantrum - wakes up from a nap and showers her god-mother with cuddles)



Stress: Having a Hairdresser butcher my fringe.

Laughing it off: Walking in off the street (to a different salon) with no appointment (at this time of year) and having an awesome hairdresser fix it...for free!



Here is a pic of the disaster before I had it fixed last night. I know it's not straightened in the after pic, but really it made not much difference!






I would have taken one of the fringe now it has been fixed, but I'm still in my pyjamas!



I'm off to finish cleaning and bake brownies. Have a merry day!
