Merry Xmas to you all....

"I wish you a Merry Xmas, I wish you a Merry Xmas, I wish you a Merry Xmas ... and a Happy New Year..."

This is Xmas stitchery which I made many years ago:

Lots of people love to decorate their houses for the festive season.....














Last night we had our Xmas dinner with our best friends and we actually managed to get all six grown up children together as well! There was lots of laughter and chatter all night long:



This is cute little Rupert:






After dinner we adults went for a walk to check out the locally Xmas decorated homes:



 ... and to finish, here are a couple more of my Christmas ornaments and stitcheries from Christmases past:



And lastly here is my tree with my Santa Sack from Jeanette waiting for me to open - haven't I been patient? Plus I have another Xmas exchange waiting to open from Lisa





I am going to have fun tomorrow, aren't I?

Best wishes everyone,

hugs,


Update: It is nearly time for bed - Christmas Day tomorrow.  The food is all prepared and the menu set:

Entree: Antipasto, nice cheeses and a prawn dish.
Mains: Barbecued Pork Belly, Beef Wellington, Roast Chicken, Wild rice salad, Layered Garden salad,   Hasselback Potatoes,
Dessert: Homemade Plum Pudding with Brandy custard, Pavlova and Fresh fruit with White chocolate and passionfruit dip

What a yummy feast!
