Christmas should be a time of reflection....Yeah right! In the last couple of weeks every parent has been to a variety of plays, dinners, graduations, awards, performances and special excursions. Then the barbeques for departing friends, staff parties and the looming presence of the day we give something to most people in our worlds thus shopping and searching ...... Add to this the constant demand of watching cricket....Let's get to boxing day quick....
