The time has come to dive right in to Christmas festivities. We thought we would get stuck in even earlier than normal yet somehow things haven't transpired and in fact we risk falling behind the curve. This weekend is the one to get all the decorations up (we hope) which does tend to be quite an undertaking, it has to be said. Last night we watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation which although I used to hate with a passion has transformed into the favourite and preferred initial festive film to watch. The cold temperatures aid the desire to step into Christmas so who am I to resist?
