Cards and stockings!

It seems there was a bit of a theme for Christmas this year – accidental but curious anyway; we received mugs from my Dad and from Kate & Chris; and Margaret got me a Dr Who Tardis mug too!
We also got TALKING Clangers from Kate & Chris, which immediately prompted a successful Google TV search to bring the Clangers on screen

With Margaret and I both still sick with ?flu?, Christmas this year has been quiet – TV all day, and pie & mash for dinner!

(and if you don’t know The Clangers … as they say “you haven’t lived”!)

We moved the Christmas Tree this year, to next to the (smaller) TV setup:

But Chloe wasn’t bothered, immediately settling down under it!

Meanwhile, we continue to get light snow – nothing like what we experienced back in England!

This year, Christian hired a “professional” to decorate the office for Christmas – a nice job!

Joanne & Earle have started putting the Christmas lights up, next door!

Close-up:

Margaret has been busy stripping the Christmas tree of decorations – it looks a bit sad now!

with Joanne and Earle and their extended family – fun chaos, with too much food! a good afternoon

Presents under the tree – and Chloe prefers the wrapping paper of course!

Merry Christmas, everyone

Margaret installed her traditional Christmas stars on our fencing around the driveway …

In years past, Margaret & I have joined Joanne and Earle and their family, to see Christmas Carol at the local theatre – but that stopped doing the play and then (cursed by the ghosts?) closed down.
So this year, we went today to see the new Disney movie Christmas Carol – and it was quite spectacular!
