I have Christmas Day and Boxing Day off this year, but my penance is to have to stay at the store on Christmas Eve until about 11pm. Bastards. They give with one hand and they poke you in the pecker with the other.
Sophie and Tamara are both work-heavy over the festive period too, so I guess our big family get-together will be held over til January. Philippa and I are having Christmas dinner at her mums, then joining a big crowd at Ted and Beryl’s on Boxing Day. The family have finally persuaded Beryl to stop planning huge Christmas dinners for the whole county, and to let other people fuss around her for a change. She reluctantly agreed, before then planning a huge buffet for a crowd of two dozen on Boxing Day. Old habits really do die hard I guess. And getting Beryl NOT to cater for a big Yuletide party would be like getting Michael Buble NOT to release an album in December.
Bless her.
