Rob's Ego Trip!

We went to my sister's yesterday and spent the day with them, my parents and Jacky & Sam. Tim cooked the Christmas dinner and I have to say that it was excellent. We had a really good day. The kids got presents and played games and then once they were in bed, we did some quizzes which proved exactly how short our short-term memory actually is!

I saw this question on another site:

I wonder what it would be like if Santa asked "What do you want to Give this Christmas?"

Interesting question. You can't help but wonder what our world would be like if everyone was focussed towards giving to others. Possibly, we'd be able to reduce the big problems in the world. You know, the ones like the helping the millions of people in the world who don't have clean drinking water...

Another year is coming to an end and so we have put up our Christmas tree. Jon and Ben have both enjoyed the experience. We also have pretty flashing lights all the way around the top of the walls which is fun!

Tomorrow we are going to the Santa Steam Special at the Severn Valley Railway where we get to go on a steam train and then see Santa. Jon's really excited about seeing Santa, wheras Ben is far more excited about seeing the trains again!
