- it snows, but you don't have to go out in it (except to make snowmen).
- your children say 'thank you' without prompting.
- someone in the family volunteers to do the washing-up.
- there is peace and quiet, but not because the children are glued to a screen.
- we celebrate together as a family.
I'm having a good day!
Today my son is 9 years old - where did time fly? He has loved his birthday, full of delight with his presents and has, for the large part, played happily with his sister. I have had all the grandparents to stay overnight and the extra hands do make light work!
The Christmas to-do list is still miles long, but today is a day to celebrate and relax. I still have to decorate the birthday cake but otherwise there is just an endless call for cups of tea. And the odd snowball fight.
Tomorrow is time enough to be festive. Tomorrow we'll begin Christmas. Today, we party!

that sounds delightful!
My wife, Jane's birthday is neat to Christmas - she hates it if people try to combine the two with presents or celebrations. Quite right too.
Lovely post, and the start of it sounds like you are living in some kind of ideal world that I haven't yet found the door to!
Glad you are having a super time...long may it continue!
Many Christmas wishes and all the very best for 2010! Thanks for popping across to mine. My new year's wish is to speed blog...in the best possible way! ;) Hadriana xx
