Getting closer and closer. I have decided that people this year are so un enthused about
Christmas because there is so much
pressure on people....teachers have to finalize everything they have done throughout the year and write reports; builders are so under the pump to get things finished for clients, retailers well who knows,
florists have heaps of weddings and flowers being ordered for
Christmas functions and last but certainly not least parents have all the running around juggling and end of year things to go to. Stop, yes lets all just stop now and think......what are we doing to ourselves....what is Christmas really about? We all get bogged down in the expectations of what we think we need to be giving people, family and friends when really the answer is quite simple......its time. We need to all take a deep breath and just slow right down and eliminate this chaos out of Christmas. Take time out to get back to the basics...like cooking a cake for someone down the road....going over to your mates and saying lets have a beer and most importantly spending time with our children. Sometimes i am guilty of all these things; trying to juggle a business on my own, run a house hold and spend time with my family. And yes we all get on that merry go round and
don't know how to get off. But please at Christmas lets try to spend time with family, friends and remember its not all about presents it way more than that.
Some comfy cushions to lounge around on over the Christmas break.
Spend some time in the garden over Christmas with the family....get them into how to grow things. Our
veggies are going well and we will be picking all over the Christmas break.
Happy family time and please all take it easy.....
Sorry for the lack of posts but i have been a bit busy over the Christmas period. 
These are just some shots through out 2010 in store at The Vintage Rose.
This is me at 4 oclock this afternoon....oh well good job. Now i am having a few champagnes and am getting a little excited as tomorrow is Christmas, but also, as some of you know, my birthday. And for the first time in 47 years we are celebrating my birthday. I must say i am feeling a little guilty not being with the family but i guess you have to try these things at least once in your life. The thing is i really dont know any difference and love the fact that every year i get to spend my birthday with my family. So a big Merry Christmas to dad and the rest of the family..... i love you all so much....but this year a surprise is in store for my birthday. A big Merry Christmas to all of you out there in blog land and also a big thankyou to all those who log on to my blog for a peek.....take care and drive safetly over the holiday period.
