It's only 01.15

I am wearing a purple sparkly woollie scarf, a pink an purple bracelet with dark turquoise and bronze coloured dangly bits, pale turquiose earrings and pink and blue woollie socks. (other stuff too, obviously).
I've just realised we didn't phone my half of the family at all.
The house is as tidy as it ever is when children are at home and they are all now tucked up sleeping the sleep of the well fed and earlier-than-me to rise.
Barney cooked a fantastic goose and gorgeous babe and her mum dropped in to share bits of dinner and pudding and for GB to entertain the crowds magnificently. (Her best line when passing nuts round and being told Great Grandad would like one too was "you'll get yours when it's your turn" delivered reprovingly as to a demandng child).
Adam and Jude rang and they'd had a good day. They ate nut roast and steak (she being veggie and he not being).
I spent a peaceful hour or three washing, tidying and generally making the house visible again. while others did whatever they did.
Fran and Andy and Great grandad were there and were great fun as always.
Peter brought lovely wine and was good company.
the spelling isn't bad considering the quantity of very nice wine I've drunk today (Somebody took a rather blurry pic of me asleep with my head on the table some time this afternoon). Presumably thias is why I'm awake now.
Only the empty glass is mine.

I know other people aren't all having joyous and peaceful christmases and now I've got a little time alone I think of them. Did during the day once or twice.

I wish so much there could be one time when everyone could have a day off from sadness and trouble but that's fairytale stuff.
I wish all the same.
