Well here in Australia it is Boxing day aka the day after
Christmas Day, don’t ask me why the 26th is called Boxing Day I don’t
know it just is……………..lol
Anyway my Christmas Day was awesome I had a great day, spent
it with my family I was awake at 7am and had about an hour or so before Jessica
and Leo turned up, to open their presents. I think they both liked what I got
them. Then around 10am we headed over to my parents place where we opened more
presents in fact it is a little crazy at mums place with lots of people exchanging
gifts and what not………………..lol
Tim was surprised with a couple of his presents, and I did well
here are some photos of my gifts and my day.
The only drama of the day was when my brother in-law Ed cut his finger
while slicing the ham, Ed is a big help on Christmas Day he slices all the meat
for mum most of it is done using the meat slicer mum has but the ham he was
doing with a knife. He had only just sharpened the knife moments before cutting
his finger; I was talking to him when he did it.
This year it was a wet Christmas Day so we couldn’t set the
tables up in the carport, which to be honest didn’t bother me at all I prefer
to eat in the lounge room it feels more like Christmas even if it is a bit
crowded…………..lol
There were only 12 adults and 5 children there this year for
lunch but before lunch there were 19 adults and 8 children some didn’t stay for
lunch. Jeannie has lunch with her boyfriend Peter and his family and my sister
in-law Leigh goes over to her mums for Christmas lunch and my brother Dave
joins her there after lunch.
I hope you had the best Christmas ever! sandie

It was a wonderful day, and today is just as good except for the headache and feeling sick in the tummy
DeleteLooks like you all had a great time (except the young woman Pic 2 far right) LOL I researched the meaning of Boxing Day last year, there are several competing theories meaning no one really knows.
ReplyDeleteYeah don't know what ws wrong with my daughter Jessica that caused her to have that look on her face.

Deletewhat a wonderful Christmas and love all the pictures the kids are adorable
ReplyDeleteThanks, I know I am lucky to have had such a great Christmas
DeleteI had just looked up the history of Boxing Day this morning for something in my posts. This was a day in history that employers gave their servants and tradesmen, little tokens in little boxes to show their appreciation.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a nice Christmas. We did as well. Hopefully the cut wasn't a bad one for Ed.
Ed is a tough bugga and said his finger was just fine, although when he changed the bandage it started to bleed again but he just shrugged it off.
DeleteThe Hurricane says boxing day is an English thing. The nobility would take gifts to the poor people. The gifts were in boxes.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Yes Boxing Day comes from the English but we I have tired to find out why it is called Boxing Day there are a number of reason who knows which one is right.
DeleteI can see you had a great Christmas. That makes me happy. I hope that your New Year is as good and good fortune shines on you in the coming year. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks it was a wonderful day, I am looking forward to New Years Eve this year since there will be just me and hubby here for a change.............
DeleteYou have such a lovely family!!
