We woke up to a dull cloudy day. It was not too cold at 7 degrees celcius.
The children were the first to wake this morning. They were so excited to find out what Father Christmas had brought them. Their Christmas stockings were bulging with presents.
They got the usual presents such as a chocolate orange, an apple, hat and scarf and some small toys.
The family gathered around the Christmas tree for the ‘grand opening’ of presents. It was interesting to note this year, like many others before, that most of the presents come from around the world especially China.
We finally sat down for Christmas Dinner at 2 o’clock in the afternoon.
You can see what we had on the Woodlands Junior website

It is now 3:30 and we are expecting more relatives to arrive for Christmas tea and a party games. This is one fun filled day of eating, drinking and opening pesents but not forgetting the true meaning of Christmas.
Merry Christmas to one and all

Iterested to read your comments about Heny v111 eating Turkey (usually associated with North America) I’m sure i’ve read that in the reign of Elizabeth 1 a law was passed that everyone should eat goose at Christmas. The law has never been repealed!
