The Ghost of Christmas Past

After the surgery she had yesterday, Ellis could not spend the day at the daycare centre (the nurse said she is very susceptible to infections the next couple of days and therefore contact with other children should be avoided as much as possible). My parents looked after her while Martine and I were working. She had a good time and was totally exhausted after playing with my dad for hours. Thanks, mom and dad!

The Ghost of Christmas Past has appeared in many different forms according to Wikipedia. Tonight, when the kids were finally asleep in their beds, the ghost appeared in my home in the form of a Harrods 1998 Christmas Bear. What are the odds, huh?

I have been a good person all year, honest!
