Left Over Sunday
Left Over Sunday
This the first Sunday after Christmas, was a different service, we Sat round tables, had quizes, prayer and testimonies.
I went way out of my comfort zone and made a testimony embarrassing myself by crying.
It then finished with a shared lunch
Christmas

We attended the midnight Christmas Service.
Waking up Christmas morning, how I miss the hustle and bustle of Christmas Morning when the children were at home, Bucks Fizz, Croissants, Presents, excitement. It all seems so flat and boring now.
We popped in to Jenny (my daughter) and family making our first Santa Visit.
We then went to Church, after Church we made our Second Santa Visit to Steven (my son) and family, my 4yr old Grandson Miles kept stealing Smarties when he was stopped, I asked if I was getting a Goodbye kiss he said No I'm in a Grump.
Then we went to Mum and Dads where Dad was also in a Grump. We finished getting our Christmas Dinner and had an enjoyable Christmas Dinner.
In the afternoon my sister Debbie turned up with her family where we did a quiz, talked and ate.
On Boxing Day we went to see my other son Micheal and family and played Santa. Bob left for work and we all played Junior Scrabble.

Family Christmas Party - One More Drama
Yesterday was our Annual Christmas Party, all ready, table laid, posh frock on awaiting the invasion, and believe me when it arrived it arrived with a bang.
6pm arrived and at first we heard voices and was just commenting that they had arrived when there was an exploding noise, the house shook and we were deafened.
Dylan, 9yr old Grandson, ran up the garden path at full pelt, and completely shattered our Patio Door, he was a little battered and was taken to A&E as a precautionery measure, he was X rayed and the verdict was he was just bruised, They got back about about 8pm.
In the meantime Sophie his 15yr old Autistic sister had a complete meltdown, she was screaming, shaking and hysterical, she completely wrecked my small bedroom, blaming Dylan for ruining everything, she hated him and never wanted to see him again, eventually she calmed down but was still not happy.
Apart from these dramas it was a reasonably successful evening and a pleasant time was had by all present.

My Birthday
Considering my husband was working 2-10pm on my birthday it proved not a bad day.
It started off with us having breakfast at Sainsburys, then we did some shopping including buying some clothes, then we went home and shortly afterwards went to Poppyfields for Lunch.
After Bob went work, Jenny, Andy, Sophie and Dylan arrived, Sophie was in a bad mood as she had tripped over Gizmo the cat and wanted to go to school.
Then my Mum and Sister arrived.
Shortly followed by Micheal, Hana and Baby Micheal (Son and family) arrived.
When I had the evening to myself I watched DVD Holiday Inn a gift from my husband, and Strictly Final, while drinking wine and eating chocolates.

Christingle
On Wednesday we attended Dylan's school Christingle service which was most disappointing, it was held in the parish and led by the parish priest.
It was pure chaos, very disappointing, children were screaming, parents were talking, it was crowded and u couldn't see anything and it went on much too long.
I love Christingle services and was most disappointed.
Miracle on 34th Street - Week 4
On Tuesday it was our final Bible Study based on Miracle on 34th Street, I found the discussion and the presentation much better, thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
