It's begining to look a lot like Christmas
I noticed on the way home tonight that the big wheel once again is gracing Edinburgh's Princes Street. It is less than half a dozen years that they have been putting it there, but it has become a fixture regardless. The herald of Christmas, the first real sign that it really really is on it's way (not like the shops filling with Christmas paraphernalia as we all know that happens in July these days).

I haven’t been very Christmassy so far. This statement from me ranks on the scale similar to an archbishop saying he doesn’t feel very religious this year. What with being ill and evil doctors, then being so busy trying to catch up on everything, plus the wedding is just so consuming right now…

We are in the midst’s of getting together the invite list – which is a horrible thing. You would think it would be fun, but not only do we have to deal with emotional blackmail from the family (oh, did I include 20 over the maximum number of invites for our side? Don’t suppose you could squeeze them in?), but then you get the enormous fun of grading your friends – not a pleasant experience. Having got through that we are now attempting to pull together addresses for all – what with texts and emails, it is surprising how many friends addresses we just don’t have. But even better the family lists where in some cases we don’t even know their names. Ah well, it’s all part of the fun eh?

Still, having played with the website yesterday I found a bit of the fun of the wedding planning again. And now having caught sight of the wheel, I am beginning to feel ever so slightly in the mood for gingerbread.

Perhaps I shall have a dig around for the Christmas CDs after dinner…
