Festive mood decline

Late blip: due to all the changes!

Saw this tree in the Hilton hotel on Deansgate earlier and it was beautiful. It would have made me feel festive if I hadn't been on my way to a meeting at the time! As my workload has increased this month, my Christmas mood has dissipated somewhat. Hoping it returns next week!

A certain two and a half year old is sure to help. She's embracing all things Christmas including Father Christmas, presents and reindeers - even though reindeers come with the implied threat of dummy withdrawl - that's right we're going to attempt the "dummies need to go to the baby reindeers" in the stocking on Christmas Eve manoeuvre. Wish us luck!
