Christmas Day has been and gone for another 12mths.
This year David played Santa and gave the presents out....things were different with being up here and not having Greg here with us...but life is what you make it......and we made it a nice day.
Up at 6 am this year which is late for us normally it's 4.....Lots of ooooooing and aaaaaing as all got what they had been hoping for....David cooked a nice breaky on the bar-b-que...
The rest of the day was spent under the shade of the mango tree sitting, eating and remembering Christmases of past...The weather was so much cooler than what it has been which made the day a delight. When we got a bit warm we jumped in the pool for a swim, most of the day the kids were in the pool and we sat and watched them, relaxing..
I hope you all had an enjoyable Day, I am going to visit some of you and see how you spent the day...

Sounds good Mandy.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it was the Christmas that you needed... and I'm glad that you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteSuch an Aussie Christmas - under the shade of a mango tree and kids jumping in and out of the pool all day. I dream of having a white Christmas one day but I honestly don't know that I'd swap an Aussie Christmas for it - kids on the slip n slide, playing backyard cricket and eating pavlova and mango cheesecake, crayfish and prawns!
