The sun shone beautifully all day. We went guitar shopping with Alice and ended up in our favourite coffee shop joined by Chris and Tom. We sat around singing songs and drinking lemon soda and tea. This afternoon we watched F.C Phuket win the match that will see them promoted. We won! The atmosphere was fantastic and helped along by rousing choruses of Jingle Bells from us lot.
Tonight we're off to the Old Tricycle to celebrate with Ad and everyone with more singing and guitar playing but sadly no turkey.
I hope you're all enjoying the day spending it in your different ways and appreciating those you're spending it with.
It's funny with no presents and without the routine of tradition it is amazing how much pleasure and magic can be derived from sharing a chorus of Away in a Manger with a group of people who are friends today just because they all know the words to that song and they're a long way from home.
Perhaps most of all I am surprised how much it being Christmas means. I thought without the usual trimmings it'd be just another day but as unchristian as I count myself there's something special in this date, something that makes me feel happy and peaceful and as if I have many blessings to count.
So as aft repeated it is I wish you all peace, happiness and health this Christmas and for those Christmasses to come.
With love, Jo xxx
