A Christmas present

It was certainly the first, and will possibly be the bestest present l receive this Christmas.
I opened it while still in bed, in which I still am.

I had just awoken and glanced over to check the time on my phone.
Don't give me a hard time now. You are allowed to check for messages right?
I mean gimme a break cobber. It is Christmas morning after all, and I live closer than most of you lot to the International date line so Christmas arrives here like rilly rilly early.

But the bestest present of all?
Whatever, you be the judge.
Perhaps the best type of present is the one that is able to be shared.

Kind regards and the very bestest of Christmas wishes to you and yours,

Lovely Gerard, thanks.
Unfortunately my day has started with a burst water main, but the guys are working hard to get it sorted out. Christmas cheer will be just a little delayed 😇.
Merry Christmas to forum members and families.
