Filled all of ours up yesterday, just meal to put out this morning and tomorrow no forklift work till Sunday then cattle to sort n load Tuesday morning and the very basics till 2022
In between the daily jobs I made my Christmas ham.
Tucked the turkey in a warm bed with the help of my daughter.
Watched my daughter make a yule log.
And this little chap made me stop for a moment or two.
On presents packing duty later! Yay!!
Merry Christmas to all!

We don't have milk cows anymore , but when we did , I can never remember ever resenting going out on Christmas morning to milk and "do up" . We had the milk cows tied by the neck in conventional stalls , and fed hay to them in the stalls . I'm not at all of a religious nature , well , not formal religion anyway , but there was a magic to opening the doors on Christmas morning , and the quiet, peaceful atmosphere . and the sweet smell of the hay and cows' breath , --- it was almost enough to bring you to tears . I suppose it must have been the same other days , but without a doubt Christmas day had a magic to it .

I don't resent Christmas morning work either and, to be fair, most of the staff that I have had over the last 30 years volunteer for it.
Not keen on Christmas afternoon though.

Aim to get everything done here in a few hours in the morning. I enjoy it too, there is a different atmosphere on Christmas morning, more relaxed. Can’t do with being indoors all day if I can possibly help it!

The feeling of righteousness on Christmas morning helps too.

Don`t mind a couple of hours work each end of Christmas day. Especially afternoon, The sanity of the cows away from the madness in the house, the shite on telly & the cows don`t give me a bollocking if the brussel sprouts are having their usual effect

Used to really enjoy Christmas afternoon milking, niceto get out of the house Into the cool air, one of our cousins would bring out tea and cake part way through before going back in to games and cards perhaps before supper.
Used to be a big houseful back in those days, sadly most no longer with us.
