Christmas Unwrapping

I've done nothing for the past few weeks but pack stuff, unpack stuff, then wrap stuff up again for Christmas.
If you want to keep your stress levels down, I do not recommend a house move the week before Christmas, particularly if you blithely decide you can move yourself. Given that it took two full-size removal lorries to move us out of our previous house into our rented hovel, I think we were being a trifle optimistic. In the end, it took two weeks, about 25 car loads, five large van loads, blood, sweat, a few tears, some very good friends to do it, but we managed it. (You really find out who your real friends are at times like these - it's amazing how many 'bad backs' came on the day before!)

Still, we survived, and I'm finally back on-line, so just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, especially, Chelley, Jag and Raven. Have a great time, y'all!
