Hello, the Christmas Day has arrived.
Yesterday we jumped into the activities. I finished work early, and drove past the shopping centre that was heaving with last minute buyers; one day the “credit crunch” did not apply. We went to Mass at St Bens with carols and a reading and partial acting of the nativity.
Then it was home for bubbles and family meal, and listening to Johnny Walker on Radio 2 via ‘tinternet. Along with the music and banter, it was fun listening to the traffic reports!
I spoke to Anthony and was accused of having had too much Communion wine.
Overnight Santa arrived, and amazingly Isaac was still deserving of presents. The boys left out his whisky and mince pies, which he dutifully consumed on arrival. The reindeer also had some carrots.
The sun is coming out now to make it look more like a “Downunder” Christmas. Breakfast has been cooked on the barby. The Santa presents have been opened, the others are bulging under the “enormous” tree.
We are just about to go out for our walk on the beach, with more pressies and food and wine to come. Of course, we plan to watch the Christmas Day movie on the television later on.
All very familiar.
Merry Christmas to all.
