Things That Gladden The Heart

I will die on this hill - the stereotype of women being good at multitasking is false. They simply keep starting new tasks and not finishing them.
Yesterday evening I managed to do three things at the same time - drink beer, eat crisps, watch telly.

At one point I burped and farted simultaneously whilst picking my nose.
 
last day of school so today it was half day for them

All the kids out on the playground singing Xmas songs

Really heart warming to see how enthusiastic they all were especially the little ones doing the actions

Xmas is such a great time for kids
…for kids young and old…if we allow ourselves to enjoy Christmas and not be wrapped up in cynicism.
 
But what if we find Christmas unenjoyable?
Is it Christmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus, that people on here don’t like/hate or what people have turned it into that is the problem? Commercialism, drunken behaviour, forced jollity, etc seem to be the main gripes. If people stripped it back and just spent quality time with those they love without all the pointless add ons, then maybe Christmas will be enjoyable again.

For me it’s the commercialism, people’s incessant need to over spend, forced fun and gluttony. That’s everything I don’t enjoy about the season plus a few other personal points not for discussion here, I simply just don’t like Christmas and would happily spend that time with my family regardless of the time of year .
 
Just blinds to fit tomorrow and run an ethernet cable to the Sky Minibox but looks like I'll be hitting my drunken target of finishing the garden room by Christmas.

The bar is just getting stocked up as I type by the Mrs and the Perfect Draft is being put in the far corner... Then the bar is open!
