Just We Three

No, not We Three Kings, but Stephen, Delphi and myself.

We are all ready for Christmas. Well, as ready as we can be,

We have yet to take delivery of Delphi's main present ordered online but are assured that Father Christmas will deliver it on Monday. Monday is D Day. Duckday. How I'm going to get it into her sock without her seeing, smelling or hearing it...is a moot point but I shall cross that bridge when Duck is eventually delivered. We can only hope that Delphi will be out working with Daddy, on that day.

The tree is up and trimmed and there is a mountain of presents underneath to be divvied up come the day. The mantel piece is decorated to within an inch of its life. The garden is festooned with tasteful twinkly lights.The hallway has been transformed with birds, holly, ivy and mistletoe and glistening heart shaped wreaths.

And of course the stockings are tied to the hall bannisters.
Ah yes, the stockings.

It all started with Delphi's own Woof Woof one.

I felt left out. I've never had a stocking. Well, not one I can stuff with chocolate and earrings and perfume. SO, as you know I made one for myself.

Then Stephen, not to be left out, we decided, Delphi and I, needed one too. His had to be rather different.

So there we are..we three.....all lined up and waiting. Delphi's is already full to bursting point with goodies and bless'er, she knows that things are in there, she stops on the stairs to sniff but she never attempts to ravish said stocking. She's a good girl and is waiting for the right time.

She has heard the song, with the line "...so be good for goodness sake..." over and over and over and over, ad nauseam, wherever we go and she has taken it to heart.

Yes. We are very pleased with our efforts.

But what do we do now?
Aha! Never fear.

I woke in the middle of the night with

an idea. 

I had to write it down just in case I failed to remember it come getting up time.
SO, with this in mind I shall fiddle and play and see what I come up with. It's all the fault of those stockings...this idea,
And I have no notion of where it will take me. To Happy Days I hope.

I shall have a blog holiday now for the Festive Season but will be back in the New Year with said idea fully formed. < ahem >.

Hope to see you on the other side.

HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR all you GYR'ers.
