[DIANE W]

Hi - Its lovely to read all your Christmas day stories.

After a hectic Christmas Eve, Dave got up at 7am (he cant sleep in, he is just so used to getting up early for work), i didnt get up until about 9am, then Kayley too got up when she heard me up.

We had a cup of tea, and bacon sandwiches, while we opened our presents, i got a leather bag ( told you i am obsessed with handbags), dvd, and some money off Dave, money off Aunt & Uncle (i wanted money because we are going away on 10th Jan), off Kayley i got, hat, scarf, gloves, a long cardigan, and perfume, off my in laws i got some wine glasses, and money again, my friends bought me, slippers, and purse, and some Bailys Irish Cream.

After we opened our gifts, we got dinner organised, it was a lovely day, with no disasters, except people came half an hour early (which really stressed me as i was still in PJ's - had done my hair and showered, but thought i would change just before they arrived, with cooking etc.

People left at around 9pm - when we just collapsed on sofa and watched TV, before going to bed at 12.30 ish - exhaused but very happy after a lovely day.

Today we visited Dave's Mum & Dad, then just relaxed, we are all so tired.

Now looking forward to our holiday in January, we are going with Dave's parents, to a hotel in Blackpool, to just relax, get waited on, and generally unwind.

Glad everyone had a lovely day, an got to be with family and friends.
