Merry Christmas! This was a very fun Christmas Day with a beautiful 70 Degrees and sunny. Stuart went golfing and I started cooking at 9am. For apps we have danish meatballs, pickles wrapped in cream cheese and ham, sausage rolls, and lots of chocolate treats. Dinner was roast beef, roasted tomatoes, creamed spinach, roast onions, rolls, mash potatoes and gravy.
We had a near scare with the Roast Beef. Stuart was carving it, doing a great job, when all of a sudden with edge of the table got to close and off went the beef. Luckily, it all landed on the dinning room chair on the platter with just the juices going everywhere. Shew!
Our guests brought over desserts of cheese cake(my favorite), apple crumble and chocolate muffins all with fresh whipped cream. We were very full by the end of the day.
As you can tell by all the food we ate it was a lot of eat and rest, eat and rest, eat and play games. I made a Pass the Parcel game which was a lot of fun. If anyone doesn't know Pass the Parcel it is a present wrapped in many layers and each layer has a question, candy, or activity. The winner is the one who opens the last layer to get the present. Tim unwrapped the activity to sing his favorite Christmas Carol. Watch how it went:
Stuart bought me a interactive sports pack video game. It is like the Wii sports games. Each of us had a go at bowling. The last game was the party poppers. Each one had a little gift, a crown and a joke.
By the end of the night we were all getting a bit silly.
Thank you to everyone who sent us cards and gifts. It was a memorable Christmas and wish we can all be together next year!
