Fattening the Fowl

 *'Christmas is Coming and the goose is getting fat' 

I know it's 2 months away but  this year we already feel a bit of Christmas cheer 

We've had our family Secret Santa draw and I think I've got my secret present sussed.  It was done with an online app this year as all the grandchildren are away in Athens.  Everyone but K and I sailed through the whole procedure.  It took me a whole load of head scratching, altering passwords, setting up accounts and all the usual online difficulties to get the app up and working.  Finally got Nana and Grandad in the draw. 

I made it easy for the Secret Santa who drew my name. I had a list of gift ideas ready and gave it to my daughters to pass on.....if asked.  It's not so 'Secret'. Some people are just down-right difficult to buy for.  I, for one, need 'hints'.  


K has turned on the lights of all our Greek Christmas 'sea vessels' 


They're all on timers and brighten up our lives from 7pm till 2am



*Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat
Please put a penny in the Old Man's hat
If you haven't got a penny a ha'penny will do
If you haven't got a ha'penny a farthing will do
If you haven't got a farthing 'God Bless you'

    I know, I know. It's sacrilege. I usually refuse to think about Xmas till after the beginning of December. I'm not getting out the decorations and I'm not writing cards. But, I do love these brightly lit boats around the living room. And I might, might, make mince meat and put it in the freezer. Or even a Xmas cake
