When I was a kid I am sure Christmas lasted longer than it does now! The two festive days are over in a flash and all the preparation that goes into it makes it feel as if just when you are almost unwound and enjoying it, that's it! its over. My family and I went to midnight mass on Christmas eve, probably the only time we are able to drag Beth into church with out a fight! My husband actually had work to do in the service Christmas morning so we all went to church again! Aren't we good. Once home again we unwrapped our presents, even the dog had one and got quite into the whole Christmas wrapping paper thing! We had a traditional Christmas lunch of turkey with all the trimmings, then in the afternoon we all went down to the stables to put the horses in. The blonde bird had put them out earlier and she had mucked out made up feeds, filled up the water buckets and hage nets. Back at home we all played games watched Christmas films and ate and drank too much. It was in fact the first Christmas for years that we have all spent the whole day together, not working or going to see friends (Beth). Although my husband was working boxing day until 5.30pm and Beth went out, we were all together in the evening with my Mum, my brother his wife and two children and not forgetting Mums dog Boo. More silly games food and drink. We really did have a lovely Christmas this year.... HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE....AND BEST WISHES FOR A BRIGHT NEW YEAR.
