Bear and I sure did. We went to church to start our day, where the Sunday school children put on a nativity play with a difference, everyone was in fits of laughter. Then we said our good byes to the congregation and drove over 100kms to our destination for a beautiful lunch in a pub. On arriving we bumped into one of our church members and both agreed if we had known we could have teamed up for our celebration. The pub put on a delicious three course meal with a jar of chocolates on the table. Bear even let his hair down for one day consuming heaps of choccies, then complaining about putting on half a kilo. OMgoodness!
We drove back home, face timed our three children then veged out on the couch in a food coma. Whilst the rest of the state were sweltering with temperatures up in the high 35 to 38c, we were comfortable in our area with 24c. Must be the sea breeze keeping up cooler. After we recovered we had some nice spanky time followed by some MFL.
We don't exchange presents amongst the adults in our family, we just like everyone's presence which we had the previous Sunday. Our son, dil and their family spoilt us this year gifting us a gorgeous plaque. On Christmas morning I was lucky to be able to open two presents from two very special blog friends which I really appreciate. I love the way blogging has brought us closer together.
We're having a nice rest until the end of the week when D1 and little J return for New Years eve celebrations with us.
Have a nice relaxing week everyone.

Glad you had a good time Lindy. Christmas is not quite over in the UK, we have a second day's holiday for Boxing Day.

Hi Rosie, Hope you had a wonderful day once it arrived and your back has improved. We also have boxing day and as Christmas fell on a Sunday, Tuesday is a public holiday as well.

Sounds like you had a lovely holiday. We did too and thank you for your not about buying my book. Hope you like it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sunny. Looking forward to reading your book. Its next on my list.

I'm glad your Christmas was good. My boys don't come home until Jan so we'll have the majority of our Christmas then.
ReplyDeleteWow that would be wonderful having Christmas extended until January. Hope you have a fabulous time once the boys are home.

Lindy,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Christmas you had. So thankful your day was blessed and fun! Doing Christmas with the inlaws today. Have a great day!

Hi Baker, Enjoy your celebration with the in laws.

Lindy, Sounds like the perfect day. At our place it was 41.3 C so after a very light lunch at my brothers place a very non traditional water fight broke out with my Mum outrageously cheating as usual. I got ambushed by my 2 elder brothers who held me down while my grandson hosed us all down. After only 10 minutes we were all dry but the fun and laughter will last for months.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad your day was fun filled with no WW3 in sight. Hope you have a wonderful rest of holiday season and the new year brings many (well deserved) spanks.
This was a topic brought up this year as everyone is thrilled to have a white Christmas after quite a few years of no snow at all... But to have Christmas in the summer!! Now that is something I would like to experience one day!☀️👙
DeleteMerry Christmas Don, that sounds like so much fun. Just what you need in the heat. You weren't just sweltering, you would have been frying. Your mum must be a character cheating with the water fight.
DeleteHope the weather cools down a bit for you. Its nice here today, cool and raining.
Hugs Lindy xx
Leigh you'll have to come down under one Christmas to experience a hot one. Just like I would love to experience a white one.
DeleteHugs Lindy xx
Hi Lindy, I look just like that cat :(. Glad you had a lovely time, and some spanking action!
ReplyDeletelove Jan, xx
Thank you Jan, Hope you also had a lovely day with a bit of spanky fun also.
DeleteHugs Lindy xx
