Back trouble, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Grinch, drinks, Christmas Vacation, Polar Express, Home Alone and A Christmas Carol

Well today did not start as I had hoped. The back problems continued in the night and when I got up I was still very fragile. I felt stiffer and more sensitive around the offending area and there was much more discomfort than I’d had yesterday when pottering about. I tried being useful but everything was a struggle but did at least manage to take the recycling and rubbish out. 

We started off out traditional Foodmas (Christmas) viewing with The Muppet Christmas Carol. Charles Dickins, Michael Caine, good songs and muppets, it's a winner every time!

Next up on the list was How The Grinch Stole Christmas

It was soon time for a Christmas drink courtesy of those nice chaps in Rammstein. It was RUMmstein for me and GINstein for Toni!

Drinks in hand it was time to embark on some giggles with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

More drinks? Oh go on then! Sam made himself an Old Fashioned.

The turkey was prepped and in the oven and there was some chatting and mum called for a quick catch up so we played pass the phone.

The Polar Express was next to roll into our Christmas station

More food prep to get the veggies and cauliflower cheese ready and then it was into the oven with them. It was all coming together slowly.

It seemed quite fitting that with the current state of the nation that we chose Home Alone as our next movie to watch.

With our Christmas feast it was back to Charles Dickens again this time with Disney's A Christmas Carol.
