Christmas Eve......waiting for the family to arrive for Dinner.......
This is how the family room is decorated.....with the tree in front of a large window and soft toys laying around the room......my Christmas Quilt is out of this pic....
Christmas Eve dinner.....around the table reading the jokes that came in the crackers.....here at our house

CHRISTMAS DAY pics....at Geoff's house..firstly getting the ham from the oven....yummo!!

The table looked fabulous all full of yummy prepared food.......

Brendan , Tim and Mike ready to eat.....Geoff & Yvonne carving ham & turkey!

the boys playing pool and relaxing with family......they haven't had Christmas Day together for a couple of years....so I took this pic whilst I had them together..

Brendan and his cousin Peter relax and chatting.......catching up......

Yvonne....my SIL always decorates her house in a lovely way.......

Ater we have had lunch we all just do our own thing relaxing around at Geoff and Yvonne's house ...Yvonne and I like to get the dishes out of the way and then relax with a few drinks......the boys play pool, cricket or tennis in the back yard
Who would mind doing the dishes when you can have this view from your kitchen window.....overlooking the pool and back garden.....through to the Lotus flowers starting to bloom in the top lake..........it's just stunning!

Once we have had dinner ....which is picking from the leftovers....we just all sit back and watch Movies...."National Lampoons Christmas Vacation"....which is on every year......and we still get so many laughs from watching it......and then we watched the last hour or so of "Deck the Halls" ...another very funny Christmas Comedy Film!
So we had a lovely Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.......I'm off around to the WATERGARDEN shortly to meet our very good friends for our Annual Boxing Day get together........we have done this with Rosemary and Shane for over 30 years......we love it!
With Rod working today around there.....we shall all meet there for lunch!
I Hope everyone else out there in Blogland has had an enjoyable CHRISTMAS!
