Oh well it is official - Christmas is here. Yes the shops are starting to look like little Santa Grotto's and the two main shopping centres close by had the official switching on of the Christmas lights at the weekend. I have actually seem my first tree and all the trimmings in a house near here. A little early I think. Although there is nothing wrong with being festive, and I have been known to put my tree up on the first of December. This year, I fear I might have to put it up on the 24th and take it down (trashed) on the 26th!! I don' think my three will adopt the look but don't touch (poke, kick, throw things at or even climb it) philosophy. I might even have to record myself saying "don't do.....!" so that I can play it on continual loop.

Better go - as soon as I sit down my little "angels" create merry hell!
