25th December, 2019.
It’s official: today is Christmas Day.
And I, like many others, will be celebrating the day with my family.
It should be good: I’m looking forward to seeing how my nephew — he’s nine, tomorrow, if you wanted to surprise someone with an extra present — to the Christmas presents he’s been given.

I’ve just managed to send one a link on how to set up a child’s account on the thing to my family.
Isn’t it amazing what you think of at the last minute?
