Anyone feel sorry for me yet? 
Now I do have a few wonderful people who make my day more special.  |
I feel bad for you. This is why I wanted Amelia's birthday far from Christmas.
Happy belated birthday to you too! You never know... next Christmas there may be a little one around to make it more fun!

Wow, I couldn't keep mine up for that long, it would drive me mad and people would think I was either lazy or insane! Not that you are of course, it's your tradition.

Aww, your Christmas sounds lovely... except the sprouts part.
