SATURDAY 24TH DECEMBER 2011

I had quite a lazy day just catching up with the last bit of preparation for Christmas, for example writing cards to go with Mum and Dads presents and also Matt & Layla’s.  Also Dad & I went and got a few last minute things from Tesco and something to line the stomach this evening before going out in Coleshill.

Matt & Layla arrived about mid afternoon with a car full as they were now staying until Boxing Day, so it definitely felt like Christmas.  I’ve found it a weird sort of day, not really knowing what to do with myself so when they arrived it was great and we trying to guess what was in al the parcels from Australia.  It was great because everyone had gone to town with Layla being pregnant so the tree was well surrounded.  We decided to crack into the Christmas cake, which had been made by a family friend Penny, as much as Dad wanted to keep it for Christmas Day, it needed to be done.

Matt started making the tea so he & I were going to eat and go down to the Green Man, as Layla was having a little sleep she was going to meet us down at the pub later.  It was great to see everyone out and Layla came and joined us before heading up the high street, we tried to get into the Coleshill Hotel, but they had locked the doors, as the place was packed so we ended up in the George & Dragon.  It was pretty quiet but we quickly changed that and everyone was on good form, which made it into a really good night as Christmas Eve always is.   Layla left early to phone her Parents & family back in Australia and I was pretty tired so left the others to it.
