I take it you're fond of sugar?

Actually, I joke. I don't normally drink on Christmas day - but the celebrations is true... I can demolish one of those tins in the day. I try and save the Heros until boxing day.

This year, I will be up at 5am so that I'm awake and ready for an over excited mini. If he gets up first then he'll just annoy me and I don't want that. I'm also pretty certain I'll be in bed by 9pm...

Why is it people from the North seem to vastly outnumber people from the South in Dubai?
Because it reminds us of Benidorm......

A whole tin of celebrations? Christmas or not it indicates serious sugar cravings.

But better than certain types of cravings.

What are you getting for Mini Millhouse for Christmas this year? I'm fairly unoriginal when it comes to gifts. Males get books, females get something from Jo Malone. That way I get all the shopping done in two stores.
