He's Been!!!

Christmas Day 2008 was possibly our most relaxed ever!
It was laid back and quiet, with just the four of us for dinner....friends came and enjoyed a glass or two of bubbly with us - by 3pm we had unwrapped, eaten, walked the hounds and were snuggled down on the sofa, with the log fire blazing, watching a multitude of films.
Just how I like it.

The guys were over the moon with their gifts - especially the ones Santa had to hide in the garage!

Today we are off to the village to watch the annual Tug O War contest, which is held in memory of my dear friend "Muffin" who sadly passed away 3 years ago - I still miss her, probably more so at this time of the year than ever - she was the organiser and kept the "gang" together with her girlie nights out and weekends away....it'll be nice to catch up with the rest of the gang - I don't think we have all been together since last year!
We plan to head off to the beach for a stroll before coming home to our families traditional Boxing Day lunch of spuds and pickles.....which, personally I much prefer to Christmas dinner.

Our best buds are joining us this evening for a battle or two on the Xbox and Wii......I finally managed to get a Wii Fit board and the guys "snowboarded" their way through Christmas Day....I expect we will be seeing the men "going for gold" tonight - competitive silly old fools that they are - still, its entertaining watching them - particularly when copious amounts of alcohol will be involved!

Hope your Crimble day was fun - thanks for dropping by.
