Well it looks like a really big family get together is on the cards this year.
Much more than usual.

I've never been one for presents, I prefer to give to people all year round as and when they need something or just to give them something anyway.

Good food, great company a celebration of things now and past is what I want this year.
There's many I wish were still here, with so many very close relatives and friends lost over the last 8 years.
Including Mum and Dad.

So they will be in my thoughts and celebrations over Christmas.
So the memories I have of them and also the memories of us near ALL being together this Christmas, will mean far more than any present or presents ever could.
