What is your favourite Christmas Carol/festive song?
Ahhh, that’s easy! This is my favourite ever, by far. (bet you can’t guess why).
David Essex - A Winter’s Tale. Because… Because. Mwah! It made me cry when I first heard it. And now it’s made me cry all over again, reminding me just how lonely Christmas might be without your family. So, deep breath when Mum attacks Dad with the turkey, Granddad falls asleep in the pud, and the children are fractious and boooored! Just think of David. Aw, bless, I’d keep him warm anytime.
Lunch has been demolished and the dishwasher is on....do you walk, sit down for Eastenders and Queen’s speech or have another tradition for after lunch?
We open our presents. Or, rather, the dogs open their presents:
Pre-lunch Christmas tradition is walking the dogs. No mean feat in Christmases past, bearing in mind my ragtag of foster dogs. Walking one hoppity three-legged dog, one slightly demented OAP, and one partially-sighted, feisty JR was a challenge, to say the least:
As mentioned, after lunch its pressie time – which does lead to one or two arguments…
…requiring a little diplomatic intervention:
Tree – Real or Artificial? Why?
Preferably real.Unfortunately, however, pine needles and pooches don’t go well together.Rowf, rowf … Timber!
Bucks Fizz or Mulled Wine or other?
Mulled wine – at the rugby match on Boxing Day. It keeps the man happy, what can I say? And anyway I’m quite partial – to muscly hunks flashing their wares!
As Christmas is a time for giving and generosity to all (wo)mankind, if you haven’t got access to a hunk, I’m quite happy to share mine.
He’s very arresting - and homeless, poor boy.
Warrant for Love
Love, blackmail, lies, adultery, entrapment.
Three couples in a twisting story that resolves perfectly.
Life for Paul sounds like your typical country song. He comes from a broken home, his wife is divorcing him, he's got no place to live, he's losing custody of his son, and his sergeant, who's sleeping with his wife, is a loud-mouthed braggart who won't let up on him – not even at work.Leanne's caught her (now) ex cheating on her again, but before she can give him what-for, she's wrongfully arrested for soliciting – by Paul and his partner. One thing leads to another and things could be looking up for Paul, except for Leanne's friends – quarrelling mom Nicky and financial goddess Jade – have it out for her ex.
Leanne wants closure, Paul wants a home, and Nicky and Jade want revenge. Blackmail, lies, adultery, entrapment. Will it all work out in the end or will Paul uphold the law? It sounds like he needs a Warrant for Love.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
