I made it...

...I managed to get through Christmas without having a nervous breakdown.

I cried on Christmas morning, but I always cry so that's nothing unusual, but I laughed loads, ate plenty of Jamaican and "traditional" food, danced until I got a stitch and fell into bed in the wee hours exhaling the fumes of one brandy too many!

So now that the family love 'n' stuff has been lovingly worked out... tonight, I'm going out with five girlfriends and we're gonna paint the town CRIMSON and fill the air with Givenchy Very Irresistible, Jean Paul Gaultier Parfum and any other scent we got for Christmas.

I'm about to mash up the dance floor and work off some of this ackee & salt-fish, dumpling, yam, plantain, beef, lamb, pork, turkey and Christmas pudding. I doubt there's a dance floor big enough for this mammoth aerobic exercise but I'm a tryer and there's no harm in trying.

See you on the other side - I see a hangover on the horizon so listen out for the fizzle, shizzle and snizzle of Alka-Seltzer!!
