Hello again from Nelson. Almost time to get into those beautiful little parcels that are now under my tree. Yesterday Chloe, my granddaughter, put up the tree and decorated it almost on her own with a little help from her brother Alec and her mother Junko (group 2). It sits in my window overlooking a public walk-way and so twinkles away at night for all the passer-bys to see.

All the parcels have been carefully laid out below the tree looking very enticing!!! The children are most impressed with how many gifts their mother and I have, and are wondering how come we are allowed to start opening before Christmas. No doubt we will be getting some help.

Best wishes to you all from

Marion
