From me and two glasses of red wine

So with glad tidings and yet again with lightning speed the wonder that is Christmas Eve is upon us.  Working in retail the opportunity to feel 'Christmassy' and enjoy the build up to Christmas is slightly stunted by the onslaught of crazy Christmas shoppers, bargain hunters, sale preparation and the woes of those less organised customers whose  requests, reasonable or otherwise, we attempt to resolve, because after all, it's Christmas.  It has meant, unfortunately, that the whole 'getting in the Christmas spirit' has been very literal its meaning, with and hour spent in the pub round the corner from work. Never the less, my Christmas tidings are from the heart as well as a third of a bottle of Merlot.
I'm keeping this short and sweet with just a few thank you's and wishes both for the year past and the year to come. I'm thankful that I have spent another beautiful year (my 3rd at that) as Mrs Boardman, it is yet to lose it's charm and I doubt it ever will, I am blessed that this year we have survived unscathed and I have managed another year without any hospital stays. This year has brought me a  goddaughter who is too beautiful to mention  and who emits the warm and generous nature of her mother, one of my best friends in the world. This year has also given me yet another amazing nephew who is truly gorgeous and full of hugs waiting to be given and of course the news that my condition is extremely stable and as healthy as I could possibly be.
I wish lots of love to all my friends, many of whom have created families of there own this year, to my family who yet again have provided lots of love and support despite having their own own lives to lead and problems to solve and of course, last but not least, to my adoring, faithful, hardworking and loving husband who's actions in our days spent together are the true embodiment of those vows spoken two and and a half years ago.  A Merry Christmas from me, two glasses of wine and a cheeky rum and coke.
