Awe Fiona, I know exactly how you're feeling! We were going to my brother's up in Hillcrest for Christmas day but have heard of too many burglaries locally so even though we have armed response, we don't want to risk it, all the guests will be out. We had a burglary a couple of years ago, house was alarmed, break-in occurred, took the security company 9 min from time the alarm went off to get here, by which time the robbers had taken our big screen tv and a laptop! It was such a horrible experience, they smashed the bottom half of our stable door in the laundry, was just before Christmas, and we couldn't get anyone to come and replace the door at that time so hubby did his best to patch it. The thieves are very busy shopping at present and with so many job losses, more are turning to crime!
But...our oldest son and his girlfriend are coming down and always bring the spirit of Christmas with, both very special souls, they're such a blessing:)
