Oh..... icicles!!!!

It's been a Christmassy weekend at Chez Savage this week..

The gifts are bought (not wrapped yet but hey... I can't be perfect ALL the time..), the Xmas movie DVD's are out of the back of the cupboard (or bought off Amazon for the bargain price of £2 EACH!!), I even thought about making mince pies but nah... can't be arsed yet..

Yes, it's definitely Xmas, I even have Phil Spector's Xmas Album at the ready as all good children of parents with musical taste should have - can't have Xmas without Darlene Love yelling "Baby please come hoooooooooooooooooooooooome!!!!" at me or the kids giggling at how someone say me snogging Santa Claus under the mistletoe last night... wonder if Tennant will dress up as Santa for me ;) lol..

Ok.. I gave in and put the tree up this weekend. I usually put the lights on and let the kids have at it and then strip it when they've gone to bed and "fix" it... but they didnt do such a bad job this year.. of course I had to clear my little table and put everything on it away somewhere and now I cant find the camera so I cant show you and will probably spend the next 2 weeks looking for it in a panic cos its Xmas and I need to take photos!!! lol

Anyway.. the decorations go on and the kids stand back to admire their handywork and Angelina says....

"I really love those testicles hanging on the tree Mummy.."

Well the coffee shot out of Richard's nose as he started choking and I almost peed myself!!!

Of course she means the "icicles" that we have hanging on the tree and I had to somehow explain the difference between the two without actually explaining...

Let's hope she doesn't tell the teacher at school about the 'testicles' hanging on the tree... hehe

On a much more complicated note, Heather wants a Donkey for Xmas. Yes.. a Donkey... a real one that she's going to feed carrots to and keep in the garden and call 'Mary' and she knows she's going to get one... because she asked Santa for one.

How the hell am I gonna get out of this one?
