For the past two years I have accompanied my OH and daughter to help at the Christmas lunch/social organised by the local Association of Churches. This lunch happens every year in the hall of Parish Church. It's a bit like a small military operation, with many volunteers. Upwards of 80 'guests' (who are very old and/or frail, and most importantly would otherwise probably not have spoken to anybody that day) are collected, cosseted, fed turkey (except for one vegetarian last year) given a few drinks, made to sing a few carols then watch the Queen's speech and, finally, taken back to their homes. This year they will be without me - I will be in the pub with a son who is home from overseas for Christmas. But I expect I will be back helping at the hall next year. And you, dear reader???????????????

	We normally have Christmas for the family at our house but this year my daughter and son in law decided that they would like us to go to their house for the day. That's fine with me. As long as we are together I don't care where we are. I hope you enjoy having your son home and a Merry Christmas to you and your family.
