Snow is not yet falling, but all around me this gang of GoodGymers are like children... Playing. Having fun!

To herald the season of love and understanding... we've headed to Community Matters charity shop on Chelsea Road - to help put up some Christmas decorations.

We decide we're gonna have a party tonight (this afternoon), and Aaron spins up some appropriate tunes on Spotify.

Shakin' Stevens is signing out, and we're finding stuff amongst a stash of decorations - hanging baubles, tinsel, anything seasonally appropriate we can find to decorate the shop windows. We're finding a couple of trees and decorating those.

I'm gonna find that ... no, can't find any mistletoe. Nevermind.

The room is swaying. Records playing. Bublé comes on, and a bit of Mariah. All the old songs we love to hear. Hanging with our GoodGym friends - what a nice way to spend the year.

Merry Christmas everyone!

(apologies for the ear-worm. You love it really :)

It was gonna be titled “simply hanging a wonderful Christmas time” till I remembered that’s a completely different song!
