O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,

And we are off again on the week before…always crazy busy! So much to do on top everything else plus keeping everyone happy as well as smiling and having fun. Exhausting! Oh yes and all that travel. I did an M4 trip, a family gathering, some decorating, did the tree, some light untangling and a little on-stage thing last night. But the on-stage things have finished now so I might write a card or two. And write the family newsletter (does your heart sink when you get one in your cards or do you look forward to them? Maybe you actually chuck them without reading…)

Bookclub here with Cecilia Ahern’s The Marble Collector. You can read a chapter here and what a treat it is. It’s about family secrets and not really knowing who your father was. And the joy and beauty of marbles. Yes really. It is full of wonderful descriptions that make marbles sound every bit as sensational as diamonds. It’s been a great year of books on the Bookclub and this one is a great way to finish. Don’t miss Cecilia after 6.

And as most trees are up (?), some Christmas tree songs please!
