Christmas Review
Posted: Wed 26 December, 2007 Filed under: Animals, Domestic, Festering Season 2 Comments »So, all things considered, Christmas Day actually went OK in the end. Fairly stressed, what with having lots of people here in the evening, but not too bad at all.
The meal was excellent, and is already showing the makings of becoming a regular thing – it certainly reduces everyone’s stress levels significantly when no-one has to cook a meal for thirteen, and the fun that brings on.
Because of the buffet-style food that was around in the evening along with six other people, Hound was confined to the garage for the evening – we’d put a heater in there, as well as her bed, so she was fine – which also made life a bit less stressed, and just generally everyone had a good time.
Obviously word of our “Good Life” style living has got out, as I’ve somehow ended up with things like a fat-ball holder for birds, a whole load of fat-balls (Hello, Google), a ladybird/mason-bee/butterfly house, and a number of other things that’ll go down well over time. Oh, and about £60 of garden vouchers, so that’ll keep us busy too.
All told, not a bad day at all. I’m still glad it’s over for another 365 days, though.

And that’s it. Done for another year. All I can say is “Thank chuff for that“.
I do have some ideas for next year, and the 2008 Festering Season may just be improved by use of Scroogians.com – if only I could think of what to do with it. I bought it a year ago, and have been completely stumped since then.
I did think that it could be used as a sort of “No fecking Christmas crap ’til December” thing, or maybe just a bunch where people could say Humbug together. But I just don’t know.
All suggestions will be received and/or considered.
