It's nearly here

The Fox is having problems with his blog. He keeps writing it. He publishes it yet it doesn't appear on his blog, at least as we can read it. We're trying to take some consolation from the fact that people seem to be able to react & comment on his latest entries which would suggest some people can read it, even if we can't. My blog is also having problems, though so far it has hit my efforts at leaving spaces between paragraphs. Sometimes it's taken a day or two between my writing the blog & it actually appearing published. We'll just have to write on regardless & hope you can read it. We're in the midst of changing ISP & going wireless. If things aren't resolved when that's completed, we'll ask the installer if he has an idea what's happening, or maybe even change blog site once again. Whatever happens we'll let you know.

Meanwhile onto the blog of today. Things are finally looking festive in our home. The Christmas tree is up, twinkling with all the shining baubles and the fairy lights when they're on. We've had the goose (which we enjoyed though I wouldn't keep the particular recipe I tried). Food from now on will be more everyday fare. This evening we're hoping to get to the carol service at our local church. It should be good. This year we've had an influx of new young talent to our choir. While we're there we'll deliver a few cards. That just leaves a few more cards to deliver, mainly up & down the street & that's it.

I'm always happier at this stage. All the chores are done, or so prepared as to be easy to complete. Now I feel is the time to settle down to the real meaning of Christmas - a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, & a chance to show your appreciation of all those around you who make life so very special for you, family, friends & neighbours. The soul can be begin to fill with joyous song, & the heart with love.
