Christmas

Well, this morning I was served by a woman who looked alarmingly like Pauline from the League of Gentlemen.  Seriously.  Scary.  In any case, now that it’s December the sight has got me considering pulling out the League of Gents panto.  Nothing like a good pantomime to get you in Christmas spirit is there?  Oh, and a little Christmas present to myself should be arriving soon.  I hope.  Provided my order doesn’t disappear like the Amazon ones did.  I didn’t order from Amazon though, so hopefully I’ll be all right.  I need my Rammstein fix.  Or should that be my Richard Kruspe fix?  Can’t wait.

I’ve also started buying things to put in The Child’s stocking.  Well, I got some chocolate money and a chocolate penguin lolly anyway.  No idea what else to get her.  It’s such a pain that her birthday’s so close to Christmas.  Grrr.  She had a great day though, and miraculously she was really well behaved.  I think she spent most of her party in a kind of daze.  Bless her.  And now she’s excited about the advent calendar.  I got her a Playmobil one, so it kind of counts as a Christmas present.  She’s already guessing what’s going to behind the other doors.  I remember the same excitement when I was a kid.  A shame that Christmas isn’t so appealing to me anymore really.  That said, I find that The Child’s excitement about the whole thing is a little infectious.  Not much mind.  But I am looking forward to watching the League of Gents panto later.  Wow.  I’m not totally allergic to Christmas yet then.
