The holidays are winding down for most of us. The halls have been decked and the presents unwrapped; treats consumed and stretchy pants donned. Not so much over here. Three days before Christmas my better half got knocked flat by a full-blown bout of the flu.  hankfully I had a flu shot so I didn't catch it, but it meant our plan to wait until the last minute to get our Yule-tide act together fell as flat on it's back as he did. That doesn't mean my entire holiday season was a bust. Last week I promised you some party pics. Have a look at these.
