Sounds like you had a lovely holiday!!<br /><br />Ruth, I remember those days of family chaos. More and more people I know are skipping the holiday altogether, and I can totally understand. Here's hoping you find your holiday peace!Country Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02672669122242456408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725923972629727580.post-20372168611807649942015-12-30T04:34:02.737-05:002015-12-30T04:34:02.737-05:00Seasons Greeting to you and yours also, from down ...Seasons Greeting to you and yours also, from down under. <br /><br />With Tom, 18, and hubby doing lots of hours at work, our Christmas day included a sleep in also. We dont do the big meal things, just lots of nibbles throughout the day. Last year we bought turkish takeaway from our local restaurant and heated it up the next day (making our own kebabs). Traditional we aint. The 3 of us did however play a mean (and i mean really nasty) game of monopoly, newly released featuring locations in Melbourne. Some hilarious Chances and Community Chest. How many 18 year olds would do that? <br /><br />Cheers from a very hot Melbourne.

Now that it's over for the year, I'm trying to figure out how to plan one like you had. Sorry you dropped the gift, I would've cussed, then cried, and cussed some more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
