Thank you. I very much hope so too. *nods*
Anyhow, good luck with the main event.

So... how are you keeping... looking forward to Christmas?
I'm alright. I am indeed. It's were holidays and being older are. *nods* Getting into the spirit yet yourself?
Yes its a Birthday Christmas double whammy for you, right enough!
I'm not really in the mood yet... a few jingly bells should do it. Where's that Christmas Coke ad 
at? .... funny how it has that affect when coke isn't a particularly festive drink 
It is the double whammy for me. *nods*
Can I admit something? I have always... hate that Coca Cola Christmas ad. 
Never liked the John Lewis ones either. I'm not a bah humbug, I swear!
With you on the John Lewis ads 
Did you see the Guardian's "Moon Nazi" article about the latest one?
Ah yes... the w.t.h. 
is he a war criminal one...
Its a bizarre ad. I like the Mog the Cat one better 
Bad wee kitteh.
Mog the cat... I've never been keen on farce, it just makes me cringe. I'm being all bah humbug now. 
Ebeneezer! You'll be visited in the night by three 
Oh maaann... that just made me feel Christmassy, and its not even December.
Feeling especially humbug-y today. Amazon have put back the delivery date on my Hamilton CD, which was due today, until the 19th of December.
Yes, I know I have the auto-rip version... but still, physical music media.
Anyhow, would you like a humbug? *crunches sweeties*

Booo! Amazon's palaver would make anyone feel like a humbug
Ah well.
Sorted yet?
Mostly sorted - even got the turkey and trimmings in the freezer
I think your early Christmas organisation skills are rubbing off on me 
You're doing better than me it seems. Christmas dinner is booked for us. Indian, same as always.
What a cool way to celebrate Christmas 
Far more interesting than dry turkey and sprouts
Confession: I've eaten over half the chocs I'd bought as presents 
No willpower!!!
Uh oh! Glad I'm not keen on chocs, or it may have been likewise.
That's what's so bad... 
I'm not that fussed on chocolate either... rarely eat it.
Dunno what came over me... it was a chocolate bender !!
What do you think of Strictly so far Hitch?
It happens.
Andre needs to go. That's about all I can say... other than babbling about confiscating Gleb's shirts or some such...
