first Christmas in new house

It's the run up to Christmas in our house.  We finally have curtains in the dining room.  The house is warm.  We have neighbours and we have exchanged Christmas cards with them.  We are planning Christmas dinner.  We are adults. The world is a funny place.

We had a bit of snow last week, not much, just a bit.  It was raining today, heavily.  It's nice seeing the house in the different seasons, seeing how things change.  The summer heat was intense, hopefully it will be cooler next year.  We have a warm house which is comfortable but anywhere can be uncomfortable if it gets too warm,

We need to decide where to put all the Christmas cards and maybe set up a CD player in the dining room so we can listen to some tunes.  We were using my record player a couple of weeks ago, listening to Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Tracey Chapman and Nenah Cherry.  We have lots of decent restaurants around us and some great parks.

Earlier today I watched Bad Santa 2 to help me get into the seasonal spirit.  It's not as good as the first film although I might just be a bit older.  There was a decent Christmas episode of the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix last week too.

The world is a wonderful place in many ways and my life is really good.

One friend on Facebook has been having a bad time recently.  I'll try and get to the cinema with him in the next few weeks, see how he's doing, grab a coffee.  Make some time.

It's important to always make time to live.  Life is short and precious.  We all work too hard and stress too much.  It's important to do good stuff for yourself.  A lot of people have difficult lives.  Remember them and help if you can.  Be kind.
