"HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY EVERYONE":kiss2::kiss2::kiss2:

Not even close to being there....what holiday is this?

Yeah, I'm quite organised this year. Today I need to take the kids down to the shops as Fraser is getting some And1 basketball shoes, so I need him with me, and I need to nick out alone at some point in time and buy them some swimming pool passes - we've given both boys four movie passes each and I'll get four pool passes and I got some tickets for Luna Park for them too (amusement park in Melbourne). Its summer here and they're off school for six weeks or so so we'll need something to do over the long holiday, as we're only going away for a week.

We're going to SIL's and my sis's for Christmas Eve and Christmas day respectively so apart from make my super special Christmas Ice cream and brandied fruit thingo, I dont have to do anything - no cleaning or cooking. YAY!

But I have to outlast the little buggers on Christmas Eve, Eliza is only little, but the boys know that Santa is really mum and dad and they will be staying awake to catch us out, I'll probably be up till 4am before they drop off!

I'm as ready as I ever will be - it sort of snuck up on me this year and the kids are older (but the youngest - 8 still believes) It's been hard to keep it a secret but an e-mail received from Santa's village with personal tidbits did the trick. Keeping the little ones busy for that long will certainly be a challenge but it sounds like you have a plan. Good luck and have a great holiday. Merry Christmas.
