I definitely am. In a lot of ways it’ll be more low key this year but I can’t help feel that it takes the usual pressure off a bit.

My boy and I watched Scrooged with Bill Murray of Saturday afternoon.

He’s 7 and a half and doesn’t seem to be bothered or scared by anything. Is Die Hard now an irresponsible decision?

I’m starting to feel it, this is the last Monday this year I have to work.

Aye there seems to be a happier look about folk when you see them going about their daily chores .

More people seem to have put up Christmas trees and decorations and some with lights flashing all over their gardens .

Very nice .
