Its been a while............. Tuesday December 23rd 2014.

Its 10.45pm on the eve of Christmas Eve.  Where has the last couple of weeks got to?  I know this is a question that I ask continually on this blog.  With the finishing up of college for the next 4-5 weeks I have had a chance to catch my breath, somewhat.  I am pretty organised for Christmas.  Done all the shopping for gifts, for food, wrapped, prepped and am ready to rock and roll.  I will have all the family here for Christmas dinner on the 25th and my mother as well for the day.

My thoughts are with the people of Glasgow who suffered that terrible tragedy yesterday and many people lost their lives and people lost their loved ones.  It is only a little over a year since that awful helicopter crash which crashed onto a Glasgow pub and killed a number of people.  There is no good time for people to lose loved ones but it is especially cruel at this time of year and a continual reminder (as if one were needed) of their loved ones who are missing.  My thoughts and prayers are with them.  It seems terrible to be enjoying oneself and planning the next few days as normal in the light of such sorrow and suffering.

Tomorrow Christmas Eve I will get my hair done in the morning (very important)  DH will take the girls to town to get some extra gifts, this is a tradition in our household for Christmas.  Usually I meet up with them later for a drink but tomorrow we are meeting with all our extended in laws for dinner in a local pub which is also a bistro and does delicious food.  So whilst they are all in town I will prep veg, and get super organised for Christmas morning  so I won't have a lot to do except pop the turkey in the oven.  The ham will be cooked and cooled tomorrow as well and I will make stuffing and starters etc. where I can.  I will have to travel out to Enniskerry to collect my Mum from the Nursing Home as well so that will put a bit of pressure on me too.  Never mind it is Christmas after all.




A merry christmas, happy new year and safe festive season to everyone.
Namaste
Marie.
