I finally wrote and mailed the last of my cards today with one day in hand as some have to get to the eastern states by Monday. I now have 4 days left to wrap presents so have just made it. Phew! I can imagine your Christmas will be very special with Beth there to share with you and Kiera. Love to all of you. xxMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-81814920256659503702012-12-20T11:00:18.673+08:002012-12-20T11:00:18.673+08:00Yeow, that's definitely hot.

Nothing beats Christmas and the excitement of the kids! <br /><br />I too feel like I'm running a little late in preparing for Christmas. Even if I start a month before Christmas, I always feel like I'm down to the wire. Tis the season, right? <br /><br />Here's hoping you get the last bits of preparation finished and have a delightful holiday with the family!Kamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528953307497710715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-46452131042289733332012-12-19T20:12:01.374+08:002012-12-19T20:12:01.374+08:00Hi there Becky...great to have you visit and thank...Hi there Becky...great to have you visit and thanks for the comment re photo. I was much prettier at that age than I am now at 80!!<br />My daughter (Kakka on her blog) and I have always dreamed of a white Christmas somewhere but neither have achieved it. I was born here in Western Australia but have never become acclimatised. I blame my ancestors who came from Denmark and Northern Scotland. I probably should have been born in a cold climate. lol Thanks for your wishes...much appreciated and all the best to you and your loved ones.

I think the past couple of Christmas Days have been 40C so seems we are establishing some kind of pattern over here. One I could well do without. Our weather has been up and down like a yoyo and it does play havoc with me too. We went shopping today and MOH and I are both pooped. He has his feet up reading and I just had to check my computer to see what has been happening while we were out.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-15096254572016913692012-12-19T06:58:46.835+08:002012-12-19T06:58:46.835+08:00Hi Mimsie!

(I'm also a blog friend of The Elephant's Child and The Feathered Nest.) As I've mentioned on...I think...Elephant's Child's blog, I can't imagine celebrating Christmas every year in the heat of summer time! It just doesn't fit my brain...since I live in the Midwest of the US, and I'm used to cold winters, and sometimes White Christmases! Have a wonderful holiday with your family and friends!BECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184458949017900541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-44582739724008914852012-12-18T19:32:15.089+08:002012-12-18T19:32:15.089+08:00I hear you on all counts.

I am waaaay behind in Christmassy things as well. Sigh. And some rain would be a marvellous Xmas present. Have a wonderful Christmas Day with the family - which is the only important thing at the end of the day.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
