I make sure my dad has something to eat.
Then its a mad dash to pick up my son's school shoes I ordered last week.
The looks I had of people as I was wearing my Santa Hat....

 Anyone fancy cake?
It seems there is a ghost in the factory,
I might have to be careful when I clean in there tomorrow...
(Holy water at the ready!) 
Comes back for light tea.
I went off to Job 3.
The sounds of Christmas songs when I got back. After the moaning at me last night, getting Alexa playing them, my kids were doing the exact same, listening to Christmas Songs!!!! 
Once they went to bed,
The Rock and Roll songs were put on.....
