In my family this time of year has always been a family day and well, right now it is just my sister and myself in the house. My dad had a trip booked months ago and my mother's mother just had a stroke and she flew out a few hours ago. Gran is alright, will recover completely hopefully, but mom still wants to go make sure that she is coping. For those that don't know I was born in South Africa before moving to Australia when I was 12.

So does that mean that Christmas this year is going to suck? Yeah, probably. We have nothing planned but I'm sure as hell going to make sure that we are stuffed. For those that don't know I am a pretty good chief and I have a very special gammon planned along with a few other tasties. Anyone else in Aus see how cheap hams were this year?

Anyway, long story short other than stuffing our faces and watching downloaded movies the two of us will be bored, if anyone wants to come over be my guest.

Merry Christmas!
