Morning Peter
Sounds like you have had one hell of a day already.
I guess the bust will happen when it does, as family is always first.
Just one thing, now you have reintroduced a hug with your son, don't stop.
My father and I have never hugged, which is a shame, probably as he never did with his father.
Though my son is 30, we still hug when we meet and part every month.
It does feel right, and is worth making the effort.
I guess like every other household in the UK, you will be caught up in the whirlwind of Christmas preparation, no matter how big or small.
I shall be spud and sprout bashing today!
With a good film on the TV, it isn't a chore but part of the tradition.
Everything else is done and has been for sometime.
Enjoy all your family and have a lovely break
See you after the feast
Best regards
Steve H
