Be Merry and Bright

**Before we all get busy doing our Christmas preparations, cooking etc I just want to greet everyone, my dear friends, a very Merry Christmas.** I'm so busy right now doing my cooking but I don't want to let this day pass without greeting you all. I'm starting my cooking What else can keep us busy especially me, but to cook our Christmas dinner. We do it yearly that we cook it early so we have nothing to cook on Christmas Day aside from the spuds. We will have our usual Christmas dinner, turkey, ham, roast beef, stuffing, Brussels sprouts etc. Since I have to use the oven for turkey, roast meat and stuffing I used the slow cooker for our ham. This will take 6 hours to cook.

Then I do first the onion and sage stuffing coz it cooks in just an hour-hour and a half. My brother-in-law gave me a hand as Mum is not able to do this now. And she's upset that she can't do it anymore. So she is our boss giving orders.

After this, I will cook the turkey that is still in the fridge. And then the roast meat. I'll be cooking all day and night. 🤣 My brother in law also send gifts for everyone and I was surprised to see a belated birthday gift for me.

Oh their gorgeous and love them! Haha it feels like I open my first gift from Santa lol. Mum is ready too! Last night I cut Mum's hair as she can't go to her hairdresser now. And she was pampered well. Her white hair turns to curly green lol.

That's my husband doing lol and Mum was laughing and asked Tia and Jigz to come to see her. And they were all laughing. After her hair cut, I remove her facial hair and cut her nails. Tia helps me as well as she wants to do it for Lola. So she is ready for Santa.

*Isn't she a good girl?* Then later we have to go and bring all these gifts to different families and friends. We still have to get some from the shop. Last one. I know. We're never be done. And we're broke lol.

I hope Santa will be good to me this year coz I'm really good. I behave well lol. But seriously I'm not asking anything this year. I even told my husband not to buy me anything.

I just want to see the kids happy. I want to see them all happy. And I'm confident enough that Santas did a very good job. Tia said she will put milk and cookies in the fireplace tonight. And just like what I say in noise.cash, We are excited to receive gifts from our dearest Santa but most especially to give gifts to the people we love. For some Christmas is hard. Those who struggle. Those facing difficulty. Those who lost a loved one. There are no words to console and to tell them to just enjoy Christmas. To tell them to celebrate still. There's no need to be merry and bright and just do what you can and everything will be alright. Put a smile on your face. And celebrate with a grateful heart. **Christmas is not the time to get everything we want. This is the time to appreciate everything we have.** Merry Christmas Everyone!
