T'is the season to be jolly, and who wouldn't be? Cold weather, frost and, if you're lucky enough, snow. But that's the fun part right?

So I'm wishing everyone a Merry christmas, couple of pieces to say.
Firstly, I do hope you all have a good christmas this year, it's a wonderful time of year to spend together as a family, whether it's just you and your kids, or the whole extended relations, either way I hope the family time is precious.

Next on the list I'd like to let people know, hopefully she will do so herself when she is capable, but Ayame Mitsuna was induced yesterday (Wednesday 17th) at/around 630AM US time (-6hours GMT) We, as in those who know her well, hope to hear from her soon, so if she is unable to update here, I'll pass on the word. She is/was expecting a little girl, her second and hopefully all has gone well. So good luck Ayame, hopefully things have gone smoothly for you both.

Third, it's only a short two weeks before 2008 finishes and 2009 begins. As most people do they make resolutions, more often than not to lose off the extra pounds gained over christmas (Oh why oh why do we allow this one time of year to indulge without feeling guilty? Least until new year anyway when we're not lazing around in jogging bottoms) So all who make them, good luck for keeping them, and those who don't, are you sure there's nothing you want to change? wink
Lets start things off, I'd like to hear what you're doing/planning/hoping for this christmas and new year, do you have any resolutions, share them with the rest.

Christmas
Well, that's to be done with my mum, her boyfriend, my brother, and my grandparents (and Kyra obviously), the gifts are bought and wrapped (all except grandad, his will be gotten the weekend (thankyou dear friend of mine who is going into the next town over this weekend and said she'd pick up what I'm after!))

New Year
Nothing planned for me, though if it's going on then we'll be having a new years party round my uncle's, he usually throws NY's parties each year, but not sure if it's happening this year. If not, night in front of the box I think for me.

Resolutions
1. Quit smoking. Smoked for far too long now and really need to quit.
2. Lose weight, and this aint just what will be gained over christmas either! Target - 30lbs minimum before June, we're jetting off for family holiday.
3. Do well on my course and pass it. No chance am I stuffing this one up.
4. I did have a fourth, lost it now. Perhaps a new memory wouldn't go amiss here xd
