The day before Christmas

It was the day before Christmas

And all around the house

We were getting a bit restless

And needed to get out

So we ventured to Redcar

to the beach we were bound

It was windy and blustery

there was no one around

But windy and blustery

it was the perfect day

to clear out the head

and blow the cobwebs away

Fresh air aplenty

and space to run around

with energy to burn

we enjoyed the sounds

Of waves and of wind

of sea and of laughter

of spinning and throwing

and chasing after

And so we returned home

with our appetites renewed

for the days of festivity

the indulgence and food

And tonight we are ready

for Santa to call

the apple pie and the carrot

and stockings and all

And so the advent will soon

be over for another year

Its been fun to blog through it

and share it here

Merry Christmas to all

and the season's warmest greeting

thanks for stopping by and

thanks for reading
