Season Greetings

Well here it is – Christmas Day.
We are going over to someone’s place who is having a Christmas Dinner for the community.  Apparently, there are about 40 going. There will be games for the kids and of course food! 
We have said we will give a hand where it is needed but we are really over doing a lot.  We have done heaps throughout the year and see this time as a rest and recuperation time.
We are doing a bit around our place at the moment.  We are endeavouring to get our place back to something similar to what it was before we got the new kitchen and the granny flat (Cabin) added.
It was great a mate came over and gave me a hand to move some of the bigger stuff.  He really knew what he was doing and the fridge, couch and fold up bed plus cupboards went into the Cabin in super quick time.  I was really glad for his help.  I was trying to avoid Merril needing to move anything weighty.  It worked, but it is really hard to get her not to do anything like that.
We had bought a small fold up table from Ikea.  I must admit I am used to getting a table and simply putting it in place.  This one came with instructions and in many pieces.  I am needing to assemble it.  Someone I worked with left where I work to put stuff together for people.  I can see why.
I am a typical guy and left Christmas shopping till the last minute.  Merril and I went out Christmas eve.  We had Containers for Cash to take and we took them.  It seems many others decided to take theirs on the same day.  Merril commented how she likes the way we work together.  I process the plastic and cardboard containers, and she processes the bottles which I pack in freezer bags from the supermarket.
We did that and then separated at a shopping centre.  I got presents and she got one too though she already had gotten some.  We then had a coffee together at the shops and went home.
All it all a good day.  But the presents are under the tree and I’m ready to open them.  Then again though I am used to getting up early.
I hope everyone has a great day.
