~~~~~~~~"MY CHRISTMAS"~~~~~~~~~

I made it and finally got everything cooked,

sorted, wrapped and ready for the big day of the 24^th and 25^th.

We had some very uncharacterristic weather to say the least.

It started out cold on Christmas Eve and then started to 

gently rain, but by the time we returned home from my families

place it started to get more fierce and angry and as the night

wore on, we had icy hail banging on the windows and roof with

terrific force and power.Next morning when we were ready to go 

down to the nieghbours place for breakfast, we had to wait for

the rain and hail to ease off so we didn't get drowned.

While we were having breakfast and swapping gifts the hail 

stones rained down making everything white so we had a white

Christmas Morn and the kids made small snow men from the ice.

They thought it was so much fun to be able to make little snowmen

like they see on the Christmas cards ect.

Later in the afternoon we had some more hail storms and we were

racing around with our cameras to photograph the spectacle, and

the kids once more, went to work on creating more snow men.

On Christmas night our nieghbour came over with a gift and I 

gave her a small gift and some chocolate for her granchildren.

I said to my beautiful man, God is smiling he has sent this badly

needed water to help the fire fighters and believe me it helped a

lot and most of them, were able to return home for Christmas and

others that stayed could enjoy a rest and Christmas festivities together.

Our garden thought it was heaven and it perked up greatly but as the

heat, gains momentum again throughout next week, the garden will slowly

start to wilt and parch up again. Our water supplies are in great distress

and we need the heavens to open up and spray us with a ton of Holy water.

Well! Christmas came and is ebbing away. All to soon it will be January the

6^th and The Christmas Yule tide will be bottled up to make another

appearance in 12 months. The year will no doubt go at break neck speed

and we will be bemoaning the fact that time stands still for no one.

So I will endeavour to hold the Christmas Spirit and let it lighten up

my heart and soul and keep me in a genteel, tolerant, loving state of mind.
