Maybe if you eat a whole plateful of Brussels Sprouts, you will get back onto the nice list @Phoenix_Rising? That ought to keep Santa and the elves happy! 
Hi all - so today is the last day of work for my beloved and she came home early to start her holidays (2 weeks). Immediately decided she needed to get napping to celebrate. LOL. Took my darling doggit to the vet to treat a puncture wound/tear under her jaw that appeared yesterday (other dog will be the culprit but not malicious probably in rough play). Took the opportunity to buy another soft squeaky toy for their Christmas pressies.
I have braved Kmart too today to get my Mum some summer tops she asked for and going to visit her tomorrow with that and the pressies I got on her behalf for the grandkids and great grandkids (easy peasy just gift cards - one each for the two families).
I could not believe how many people stared at me today, I am used to being looked at because I am pretty unique, but truly I wanted to charge per view today - I wondered if my face was covered in toothpaste or something. Or maybe at my age, I look too old to be pregnant but have a belly worthy of 9 months (the medication and hysterectomy hijacked my stomach and turned it into a barrel.) Ho. Ho. Ho. Merry Xmas.
I avoid shops the best of times, let alone mad Christmas rush, so glad to get home and logon and read all the merriment.
Hope everyone is as feeling centred and clear as they can be and can look after themselves over the week ahead.
@Queenie, Giggle. Did you know I've never eaten a single brussel sprout in my entire life!!! So...if I ate one tonight, maybe Santa would be super impressed that I'd eaten more brussel sprouts in one day than in all the 40 years of my life put together.
I'm surprised no one came up with any ideas of how I could bribe Santa. I guess that means no one else around here has ever made it onto his naughty list.
I really did eat some vegetables today though so I'm hoping I might yet scrape through onto the nice list before Christmas.
