I’m going home for Christmas tomorrow and not a moment too soon. I think I’ve spoken in the past about what Christmas is to me and this year really won’t be any different. I’m particularly looking forward to being picked up by my best friend tomorrow evening and going into our old haunts for some drinks and catching up. And then, as usual, he will swear that he’s not drinking and he’s definitely not going to our only local club and he will, this year, for the first time, give me a lift home. And I’ll nod and smile and say okay, all the while knowing that I’ve arranged a lift home anyway because, well Glenn, you’ve said that for the last ten years…
But before I go, a secret Santa present I made this week for a my friend who is a just the ‘biggest fan’ of Kings of Leon. As in the Kathy Bates, type-writer on the legs, kind of fan.
Suzie is taking me to a fancy dress party on New Year’s Eve and I’m pathetically excited about it. The theme is famous characters and anyone who wants to make a suggestion is welcome to. Because I just can’t get past Margot Tenenbaum. And I’m not into fur coats.
Anyhoo, until this is over, may your home fires be warm, your fairy lights twinkling and your stockings be free of coal x
