Sue's Sports Starter by Sue_Thearle

And so my friends another Christmas tis almost upon us. I break briefly from our family celebrations to wish you all a happy yuletide and a felicitacious new year....... sorry I can’t keep that up for too long. It reads like I might be constipated. It is indeed Christmas Eve and like most families the stress is beginning to tell.

I have had to solemnly inform the children four times this morning that we will have to call Father Christmas and tell him not to come unless they stop bickering. My daughter has just run through the house in muddy wellies..... ahh happy days. I have promised them we will log on to the Norad site later and track Santa’s progress. I wish I could do the same with my bank account.....although on second thoughts perhaps not.

Just to keep you in the loop, I am keeping Davina Fit on the back burner for Boxing Day morning, when the excesses of Christmas Day are there for all to see. Also it will be a great excuse to squeeze myself into something clingy and feel terrible about all those Quality Street I plan on eating tomorrow afternoon. But it will also galvanise you dear friends to join me in the battle of the Christmas Bulge. I am though about to hurtle to the gym to do a pre-emptive workout. That is a little bit like trying to hold back the tide I know, but mentally it feels good.

I might add that I also did a run yesterday and some cycling.......oh yes. Virtue oozing from every pore....... Then it’s back to the comfort of the sofa for Polar Express and Merry Madagascar with the children, followed by It’s a Wonderful Life for hubby and me.... All washed down with lashings of hot chocolate and marshmallows. I love Christmas. I really do. Have a good one whatever you’re doing and let’s reconvene when we are all a little fatter and wearing our Christmas sweaters......x
