Did you get what you wanted for Christmas?

If your expectations were high then there was a likelihood of some disappointment along the way. Maybe the turkey was dry, the brussel sprouts gave you wind, you didn't get the one present you had been hinting about for twelve months - instead you got the shower gel set that makes you itch, everyone was arguing about what film to watch, everyone talked over Dr Who, no one wanted the Christmas cake you made in November and iced at the last minute on Christmas Eve - sound familiar?

This year my Christmas became very simple. I bought nice, thoughtful but inexpensive gifts. I wrapped them all two weeks before Christmas and made sure all my cards were posted in time (even gifts to New Zealand). I focussed on time with family and friends and didn't sweat any of the small stuff and if you are really honest isn't most of it small stuff?
