And the bells ...

So it's Christmas ...

This year there was definitely a feeling that I had to make it as good as possible, since I wouldn't be here next year. In reality it was as fun as any year. I always enjoy it up to point, but it turns out to be a long day and we've normally spent a lot of time together in the previous days, so with the best will in the world, we run out of things to say!

Having said that, the worst thing about Christmas the year I was in India, was that I really didn't miss home all that much! I was on a beach with 10 of my friends in the sunshine, eating tandoori fish, drinking beer and watching the sun go down. I think it might be important to not try recreate Christmas as it is a home, but to enjoy what you have. Well we'll see next year, I'm sure I'll be selling my soul to get on a plane home!
