it's not life that matters but the journey...

I look forward to receiving a traditional Japanese New Year's card, sounds very intriguing! :)

We tend to just buy presents for the immediate family (Mum, Dad and Phil that is), and we do it all from our Amazon wish lists so we are all getting things we want, which means you know that what you bought is going to be appreciated! Xmas Eve itself is nothing special though, just time to be with family and relax in front of some festive TV.

Today I had a good Xmas eve at work, only a few of us in (I suppose that people who are going to visit family or are preparing for visitors take the day off) and some food was brought in by a couple of women and we spent most of the day chatting before slipping out as early as we could get away with!

Enjoy your unseasonable weather, it's warmed up a little here, just enough to get rid of that dangerous ice luckily! *hugs*
