I am still getting used to the fact it is Xmas next week. Yes, there are Christmas decorations up all over the place, but I am thrown off a bit by the warm weather - it’s supposed to be cold at Xmas, dammit! I’m not complaining, it just feels strange and I know I will get used to it.

Candi and I are really looking forward to Sophie’s second Christmas - last year she was too young to comprehend what was going on but this year she should get a lot more out of it. Just watch this video of her wearing her Xmas Elf hat and you’ll see what I mean:

We’re going to miss seeing our friends and family over the Xmas period, but it’s not long until we’ll be in the UK so we’re looking forward to a mini-Xmas then!
