Since Nick has been out of a job we have been saying that christmas was more or less cancelled. Although he is still not back at work but hopefully he will be this week we have decide that christmas was back on. No matter how hard I tried I just could not drum up any enthusiasm for it, so unlike me I normally mad about christmas. Today I realised why. Emily left home a month ago to live with her boyfriend but she popped round today and we decorated the christmas tree together. We had such a good chuckle and we sang along to Bing Crosby as we do every year, I realised that I had been putting the whole thing off as things just were not going to be the same. I'm now sat with a large glass of red wine having sent her off with the Bing Crosby CD some decorations and a wreath to do her own house. She is so happy and I just have to get on and deal with the change. 2008 has been a year of many changes for the Marsh family. Christmas, bring it on!
