A little candle.
So I’m still not done and it’s just rolled over to Christmas Day.

The table’s cleared at least. That’s not normally finished until just before dinner. So that’s a win.
Really really need to hoover but it’s midnight and the hoover’s very loud. Don’t think the neighbours will be happy with that.
I’ve finally fixed the candle stick. Well the holder I should say.

Holly.
Okay. So this is getting ridiculous now. It’s about 10 to 8am and it’s Christmas eve now. YOU HAVE ONE DAY LEFT!

It’s an elf. I think.
So I was going to do this earlier but I forgot. It’s now the 21st so there’s only four days to go. Are you panicking yet?
