Ok I am back after a week of being sick and run off me feet, post should return to normal now. I am starting my Christmas post with this one.

Over the coming weeks I will be posting a lot about Christmas and it’s traditions mostly because I maybe too busy to thing of anything and I have already written the Christmas related posts.

Christmas is both a sacred religious holiday and a worldwide cultural and commercial phenomenon. For two millennia, people around the world have been observing it with traditions and practices that are both religious and secular in nature.

Christians celebrate Christmas Day as the anniversary of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, a spiritual leader whose teachings form the basis of their religion. Popular customs include exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, attending church, sharing meals with family and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive. December 25–Christmas Day–has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1870. I have tried to find out when it became a public holiday in Australia but haven’t been able to which sucks.

Before I go I will tell you all that on Friday while I was out shopping my sister Sue rang she had just received her gift card which I had bought for her to help her out over Christmas not a lot just a $150 worth but she cried she was so appreciative and then when I got home and gave Kelli (Sue’s daughter) her gift cards she cried. It makes me happy that they appreciate what I do, I know that Sandy and Jeannie also are appreciative as well.

Good afternoon, I am sick so sick that yesterday I was in bed at 5pm and today well I wish I could go to bed but I have Blain here so I will wait till around 6.30pm by then mum would have rung and Tim will be home from work and I will then toddle off to bed.

I spent most of the day writing Christmas cards and Kathy took a heap that already had stamps on them to post for me hope she didn’t forget.

Blain is wanting his mum to bring over his Xbox and I told him no there is no were to set it up.

I realised today that I forgot to transfer my unposted blog folder over to this new computer so I will have to pop on over to mums in the next day or so and get it off the old computer. I have most of my Christmas posts already written and saved.

If I hadn’t needed to go and get Leo from school I would have gone to bed hours ago, in the last half hour my nose has stated to feel blocked but if I take anything for it I will become even more tired.

Well that is all for today
