Christmas

Gosh is it that time already? Really? I cannot believe as I sit here in my shed that it is the 22nd December. Probably has somehing to do with the fact that my mind and body doesn't know its December at all.

Is it because I sit here shivering in my shed house and I know December is Summer and I am used to being STINKING hot in Sydney? God I have only had ONE day here where I did not have a jacket on! Is it because it doesn't feel like that time of year yet?

Or do you think it could be due to the fact that we arrived here to start a new life at the end of September, so I feel like it is the beginning of the year? I am wondering why everyone is so burnt out and ready or a break where as I feel like its about March .

Perhaps its because half my stuff is still in boxes and I have no Christmas tree or many decorations.......

Lastly it could be that I am in denial as last December was without doubt the worst period I can remember with the loss of 2 very special people and the near loss of a complete stranger before me

Either way I am not ready for Christmas in any way but want to wish you all a fantastic Christmas and to let you know I am thinking of each and every one of you. I do very much look forward to seeing many of you next month when Dylan competes in Sydney at the Youth Olympics.

Sorry about not sending a card but by my calendar expect it about September 2009 - should feel like its Christmas time about then :)
