Christmas day in our house.
Christmas day is over and Mo has gone to bed so I thought I’d do a quick blog as I won’t have time tomorrow :O)
We got up at 8am and normally we don’t touch our presents until we get back from church. However, Dave knew what I was getting and begged Mo to let me have it to bring to church – he so wants one :O) I was allowed to open it first and quickly charge it while we got ready.
We arrived at church raring to go. Christmas morning service is always better than the carols by Candlelight as it is a more relaxed family atmosphere. It’s not ‘the preacher and the congregation’ we are all just a group together – all taking part. We also sing all the old favourite carols, which includes Away in a Manger and Once in Royal David City etc.
After singing about six carols we have a time when the children bring their presents to show everyone. Once they are done, the adults who got presents do the same. Dave made me get up first as he knew what I had ;O) I must say it got a great amount interest. Dave made me give a small demonstration so I took a photo of them all watching me and then showed them. He also made me show them that it turned automatically as you turn the phone. They were very impressed. Actually, It does even more than I thought!
Going to church always starts our Christmas day off lovely and brings back memories of our childhood to me.
When we got back we had a special Christmas fried breakfast, which I really enjoyed. The only time I ever eat one :O) We then opened our presents and both played with our toys for a while. Sindie and Gary popped in to borrow a lead and that was nice.
We had dinner late (because of the breakfast) and it was very enjoyable too!
It’s been a lovely day for us, and I hope you all had a lovely time too :O)
Stumble it!

Sounds like you had a really lovely Christmas day. You will get a lot of people asking you what your present was though!!!
We too had a restful and surprisingly happy day considering that we didn’t see a single human (only cats) all day. I will blog about our Christmas in a couple of days, as ours doesn’t really start till tomorrow. We had a lovely Christmas dinner though, and I had a few forbidden chocs!

What ever is your present Babs?? I can only guess it is an ipod thingy. If it is you are a lucky, lucky girl. Send a photo please. Your day sounds fantastic. We had a great day too. We are waiting for visitors that are coming to a full Christmas dinner, crackers, table presents and all! They will be here any second now.

Glad you enjoyed your Christmas day Babs, so did we. Our dinner was scrumptious! Who have you invited to Christmas dinner, with table presents included Tina? Is it some neighbours, or people from the Church?

Our Christmas day was very noisy as you’d expect and I shall no doubt blog about that later. Your toys were very cool. Mo was ingrossed in her new DVD recorder and I won’t give the game away as to what your pressy was Babs, you’ll have to do a special blog on that!
