Christmas tea

Our neighbours invited us around to theirs for a Christmas tea yesterday. We had a great time chatting and eating - they put on a delicious spread

Farewell Christmas lunch

, ,

It's a sad time at work at the moment: most of the people I have worked with for about 8 years or so are leaving work due mainly to redundancy :frown:

I was up in Livingston and Glasgow Thursday mainly for handover meetings, as I'm not being made redundant having managed to get one of only two jobs available. So we all went out for lunch, which was really a Christmas lunch, but all things considered it was as much a farewell lunch...

Christmas Fair cake sale

, , , ...

Last night it was our local primary school's Christmas Fair. Whilst I wandered round wearing my Parish Councillor badge (in an effort to raise the profile of the PC - although people seem to think I was a member of the PTA!) Julia and the Guides raised £100 selling cakes, and of course my niece paid a visit to Father Christmas

Christmas get together

, , ,

Mum and dad, Michelle, Steve and the girls came to see us today



Our Christmas crackers had a musical theme including whistles with Grandad Jim conducting the whistle orchestra everyone tried to play out a whistle Christmas tune





We also played a game of balloon roulette (you pass round a balloon spin a dial and if you're lucky you get to pass it one before the balloon bursts)



Boxing day

We've had a quietish day today. We went into Bournemouth to have a look at the Boxing Day sales - surprisingly it wasn't that busy, perhaps notm many people knew that some of the shops sales started today?

Christmas Day

, ,

We were up at about 06:30. Even though the kids are teenagers we still wake up early on Christmas day - I'm too excited to sleep :smile: My son was up anyway, so it was just my daughter who needed waking up.

We all opened our stockings, had some breakfast and got the Turkey cooking. We watched some of Julia's Alan Carr DVD and then opened the tree presents :smile:

We then had a really tasty dinner



which included setting fire to home made Christmas pud



We're now chilling in front of the telly playing with our Christmas gifts and relaxing

Happy Christmas everyone
