Our real Christmas Day started at about 8.30 on Saturday morning. Opening presents was over quicker than usual as only one of us had a sack of presents to open, although we had all had a few in our stockings. It was lovely to see Sarah and Matt together and it was actually feeling like Christmas Day.
Neil cooked the lunch for us all and as usual it was excellent. The champagne flowed, most of it my way!, and then a fierce competition started. "Pudding Off" as Charlotte has named it. Although Sarah win, everyone's entries were gorgeous. During the afternoon we played Twister which I haven't played for years. I have to admit to finding it very difficult to bend and stretch but I suppose I have to realise that this is due to getting older. Something most of us forget until we look into a mirror. More presents, more games and a mountain of dirty dishes meant that this did feel like Christmas. I for one had a lovely day.
