togetherness

I'd been doing alot of thinking this year and have decided on working onthe togetherness of our family. In the UK, Christmastime is the big FAMILY do of the year... I however will be stuck at home on my own this holiday season. Well... Christmas day and boxing day will be filled with laughter and cheer... but the days folowing will be filled with tearing my hair out and tryign to get my UNI work doen because It is due onthe 2nd of Jan.

Soooo.. IU decided to have a thanskgiving dinner. Yup... this will be the first time I have celebrated the holiday in years! I am getting really excited. I have printed off thanksgving crafts for the kids to get stuck into and have started doding the shopping. I hope all of Patricks family can come up so we can do soem of the togetherness. It is so often that family can live completely seperate lives and forget the importance of what family is and family means. Well this is my interpretation anyway. I am well aware that not everyone looks on the instituion of family in quite the same way.

My next project is Christmas Carols with the neighbours in turnign our neighbourhood into a community... but that is for another post.

The kids are sleeping... I am waiting for I'm a celebrity get me out of here to start....
