'Tis iets.........
Christmas and Boxing Day passed in a blur of food and gezelligheid........just for a change. Christmas Day dawned with Jacob sleeping in to a respectable 7.00am. He discovered Santa's presents before we all dug into a breakfast of scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and champagne. Opa was a bit shocked at the idea of drinking champagne for breakfast but in the end seemed to have made the conceptual shift more than adequately.
After breakfast there was just time to exchange presents before we headed off to Grandma's house for lunch. Practically the whole family was there and all the usual supects on the table, ham, beef, chicken, roast veggies, (we're not turkey people), Christmas pudding, trifle, cheesecake, (for the non-fruit eater) and custard. Jacob was learning quickly intermittently breaking into "Ho Ho Ho's Merry Christamas and lost of presents!". After lunch hours flashed past with face painting and card games (uugh!)before we ventured back home, the car laden not only with presents but also enough leftovers to keep us going well into the new year.
