Children of the 80s will remember the catchphrase from the A Team: I love it when a plan comes together.

I’m almost there this Christmas. Presents bought, cards dispatched and, time critically, costume for tonight’s youth Christmas party completed (no more on that yet, in case any of them see this before the surprise is revealed!).

Also, I think the music is more or less ready for tomorrow – leading worship in the morning and singing at the carol service in the evening (St Clement’s, Oxford, 10:30am / 6:30pm). Just a few more things to do and then I can begin to relax and enjoy the festivities.
