An IOU Christmas


Well, that’s Christmas done. An awesome day with family and such benign weather after last year’s heat and fires had such a disruptive impact.

Our family Christmas table a year late!

When I said that Christmas is done, I meant the day is over not so the present giving in our case. My favourite person’s main present is in transit. It seems to order it six weeks before Christmas just wasn’t earlier enough. It should arrive next week.

As for me, my children have told me they hope my presents will arrive soon! Again ordered weeks ago, the pandemic has struck.

My youngest daughter thinking on her feet hastily altered cards for a couple of small gifts so I received something from my other daughter and a bottle of Rhubarb Gin from my son and his wife meant I didn’t feel I’d missed out at all. As for my favourite person, she didn’t miss out receiving a new bag hastily arranged with the help of one of her favourite stores.

The lack of gifts made absolutely no difference to a wonderful day Christmas.

We were so lucky that we were able to celebrate with all of our family when so many people in Australia and elsewhere were denied the opportunity.

    Good to hear you had a nice Christmas and could celebrate. The rules here weren’t so kind!

    I’m having much difficulty finding your posts recently. I don’t seem to get an email notification any more and no browser – or the WP app – seems to recognise that I’m following your blog! Maybe a settings issue?

      Thanks Clive, it’s a troubling time and we are lucky not to have been so badly affected by COVID-19.
      I have been having issues with my site. I am hoping a recent fix has solved the issues but I’m not sure.
