I'm not much for celebrating christmas day (yes that was a small 'c'!!!) The older I get the less appealing it is to me. The day is nearly over now but turned out better than I thought it would.
This is the first year in ages that I've had the 25th of December off. The newsroom operates year round, seven days a week and they usually ask me to do the shift, but not this time.
Last night I caught up with my friend Michael who is down from Sydney visiting his parents here in Tassie.
Today I went along to the family gathering at my parents house. I seemed to be the only one drinking... I guess there wasn't any need for me to that along those extra bottles.
