Christmas Day (just)

No point in going down the pub after work, as I'm on the late shift/on-call, so I took the car in to work today. I was allowed to leave early at 15:30, but only after all but 3 of us had gone.

Got home to a mega-excited Frodo and Samwise. They are usually allowed to open one present on Christmas Eve (which usually turns out to be pyjamas). This year they went up to bed to find that Ben 10 and Dr Who bed covers had been magically put on their beds.

They both had real trouble going to sleep. They went to bed early around 7 pm. Samwise didn't get to sleep until about 9 pm and Frodo was still awake and trying to spot Santa at 10 pm. They were both fast asleep at 11pm.

Santa finished delivering his presents around midnight. (Check out the Norad Santa Tracker if you don't believe me) ). All wrapped and under the tree, with an extra surprise of a Nintendo Wii and a new TV set up in the playroom (they'll find that one last tomorrow).

Merry Christmas!
