Christmas is almost upon us.

What a lot of fuss Christmas is, so much hassle and hype, for what is basically just another day.

Christmas is best if you have small children around. Then it is absolute magic. We shall be spending the day with our daughter, her partner, and our grandson who is four and a half.
It maybe quite a noisy day.

Our eldest granddaughter is 16, this will be her first "grown up" Christmas. I can remember it being very special at that age.

As "pensioner parents" the magic has been lost to us. Neither of us relish sitting on the settee being the "old folks" in the corner. I do fight back and do washing ups, and make helpful coffees and teas as required. But it's not the same.
