Merry Sleepless

Back when I was a kid, I always tried to stay awake to see Santa. When I was old enough to know the truth, I tried to stay awake to catch my parents putting out the presents...

I never could ~ always fell asleep & was never the kind to be up at dawn tearing at wrapping paper, they had to drag me fumbling & yawning into the loungeroom.

Now, many years later, it's 1.30am... Santa hasn't been, my presents for the family are sitting in my loungeroom & the only creature stirring all through the house is me, with an attack of the wakies.

In fact, I'm in trouble if Santa does show up, because I'm eating all the muffins & milk.

Late lunch with Rey'n'Art'n'SarinG today (yesterday now, I suppose), Chinese duck & pork done 2 ways with token green vegetables, followed by Sunday in the park with Cuton, a drive home through the last of the day's rain to last minute present preparation, then winding down lisztening to Liszt & reading Spike Milligan... which obviously hasn't worked!!

Maybe if I try it the other way 'round...

Enjoy the Holidaze, all.
