Christmas Celebrations finally done..

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Good Morning World... Fri 27th, 5.47, + 1.4dg. I cannot see any stars, but the weather is supposed to lift and sun come out. Yesterday the sleet started here in the village around midday and by 2 it was snowing ... Yay... Not big fat fluffies but snow all the same. The field operators will be smiling. Both families are off up the mountain today but I am off to my first day of work... cleaning. This will be a watch this space kinda thing !!!! So ... Christmas Eve was a lovely time... house full and much coming and going. The Kindermette at 15.00 was just a lovely celebration of Christmas for the children. Then it was a quick leap over the back fence for liquid refreshments with my neighbours.. opps running late. Family arrived safely from Wet n Wild England and so it was game on. Christmas day dawned 13dg outside. Eight of shoehorned into the sitting room for bubbles, presents and breakfast in our P.J's. Christmas finery donned and then it was in the kitchen with a glass for company and lubrication for good cooking skills. Midday the guests arrived and so it was organised mayhem for the next eight hours... What a brilliant day.. fantastic company, just brilliant, and the food worked so well.. yes it was a squeeze around the table and in the dining room but socialising humans are so easily adaptable. The trip up to the re-cycler tomorrow will be a bit embarrassing.. it will be two trolleys full of bottles.. Heavens the clanking of the bottles as I walk will be a dead giveaway!! Final end of evening departure was a tad rowdy but all in all a fantastic day enjoyed by all. For the amount consumed over the period of the day we all dawned bright eyed and very bushy tailed yesterday the 26th... A good French red never lets you down. Tired yes, and it was a very piano house yesterday. Three of the guests went up the hill and skied in the falling snow, the rest of us went out walking, and of course to the supermarket to top up the empty wine cellar.. as you do... Today all are off to the mountain and the skiing should be lovely with the new snow, and I will get on quietly with my bits and pieces. I think they call that preparation for the New Years Celebrations. Happy Days. I have been threatened with death if I posted any of the more inappropriate celebration pictures so this is an edited version..
