Well, it has been Christmas day here for exactly 1 hour and 36 minutes. I have finished playing Santa, blown up a jumping castle, wrapped many presents, filled the Santa Claus Pinata, nibbled the cookies and tipped Santa's milk down the sink, emptied the water left out for the "reindeer" and we have just finished carving "sled marks" into our (new!) front lawn... I am now going to eat and watch some mind-numbing late night tv for a while to "wind down" before probably drifting off to sleep in front of the tv, to be woken (with a sore neck from sleeping on the sofa) by three very excited mini-Pentaxians at around 5am (eek, that is only 3.5 hours away!), and then, it will be ALL SYSTEMS GO for approximately 15 hours when we will all fall into a heap as a result of too much eating, drinking, getting sunburnt and being MERRY!
So, a Merry Aussie Christmas to you all, and lets hope the big red fella brings you all something for those camera bags, preferably with a big "P" on it, but I guess being Christmas and all, we can accept "rip off" brands too, those starting with N, and C and the like... <vbg> I LOVE Christmas, but, bloody hell, it wears you out... I will be floating around until late in the afternoon and then will be back online in a couple of days, but might need a day or two sleep to recover from tonights effort, and all of tomorrow's "festivities" (we are driving to Mackay, which is 3.5 hours away after lunch to visit with the in-laws, and that in itself is an exhausting task - yes, both the drive and the "visiting the in-laws" bit! lol)... So, hope you can all handle my "absence" (hehe), and don't go forgetting the "nice" bit in favour of too much "naughty"... With lots of Christmas cheer and three very excited cherubs, tan.x.
