Christmas has passed with all the usual fanfare and things are starting to return to normal.
Family started arriving on Christmas eve and the last few stragglers left on the day after Boxing Day. Between thirteen adults, one baby and two dogs there was hardly a stick of food or consumable beverage that was not in fear of extinction. So much so that we had to buy another turkey on Boxing Day so that there would be enough leftovers for those coveted cold turkey sandwiches.
On Christmas morning, after the opening of gifts, we had our traditional breakfast of Eggs Benedict, square sauage, black pudding and Momosa's. The turkey was in the oven and I was able to catch forty winks on the sofa down stairs before the next group arrived for Christmas dinner and another round of gift opening. Still, with all that is enjoyable and good about Christmas, this sums up my final feelings.

Not really, but I have to keep the image alive.
New Year is approaching and there are no real plans in the offing. We are babysitting Sienna on New Years eve so the kids can party. We have a small, immediate family only, dinner planned for New Year's day. I get to cook the other turkey and hopefully by holding down the numbers, there will be leftovers for sandwiches.
To all our friends, best wishes for a happy, prosperous and healthy 2008
