In spite of the date in the heading, iit is Christmas day in the real world, and not Guy Fawkes Day (which it is in the odd world of my blog). It is good to be celebrating two holidays simultaneously. Later today I shall be setting fire to an effigy of Santa while singing a rousing chorus of "God Rest Ye Merry Arsonists". It will be no end of fun.
We have just completed the annual orgy of unwrapping, and the children are now happily engaged in breaking many of the new shiny plastic objects which are scattered throughout the house, generally in places designed to cause maximum pain to adults who tread carelessly. There is nothing like a toy dumper truck to make your instep sing with agony.
Highlight of the morning, so far, was my son appearing in the kitchen with an entire Chocolate Orange in his mout. He looked like a small and tasty stuffed pig. I am considering making him the centrepiece of the diinner table for our Christmas feast.
