I 
have 
been busy 
baking & wrapping
& singing Christmas
songs & making lists 
& flicking through
piles of recipes &
counting the number of
sleeps till Christmas Day
(which is also my youngest
daughters 3rd Birthday!) &
opening happy mail & catching
up with friends & enjoying
meals with loved ones & sending cards
& walking past Santa at the local
shops & hanging the stockings &
enjoying pj mornings & watching carols 
on tv & slowing down so that all these good things 
can be savoured.
