New Year

The New Year is upon us and I honestly do not feel any different. It was very nice and different to have company this year for the first time in seven years as I do not really celebrate New Year and am usually at home in my pyjamas with my munchkins upstairs fast asleep. The first couple of years I was with my OH he was working so this was our first New Year together and his parents were visiting us which was lovely. The bug my darling boy gave me has been slowing me down somewhat so after cooking a dinner of roast goose with all the trimmings I promptly feel asleep before being woken up with a glass of something bubbly before the countdown.
I wonder if I should have made any resolutions but I have never managed to keep them before and a few years ago I decided not make them again as it tends to dent my confidence. I would decide to do more exercise or, worse, to exercise every day then fall at the first hurdle when I felt too tired/full/'delicate' to do any on January 1st. So what did I do? Not make the resolution and manage to exercise anyway! JR was thrilled to be out for a long walk and zoomed from one end of the park to the other, up hills, through leaf piles all the while looking very handsome in his blue coat. His dedication to my ankle resumed as soon as we got home.
The snuggly days between Christmas and New Year had some crafting and a teeny smidgeon of wedding planning which was cosy and just what is needed on these cold days. I forgave the weather for not giving us snow because the fire was so nice. On the sixth the decorations will come down although usually I watch a well known show on television with a large brandy for New Year and after the countdown I take down and box up every last Christmas decoration before going to bed; it is a little weird to still see the tree up.
My crafting activities are all planned out for the next few months so I am happily organised and off to do some knitting.
