In abundance! Loads of it... with the Christmas Dinner Table creaking and groaning under the weight of it all :)
Too much ham and eggs and toast and oven roasted cherry tomatoes and mushies fried in butter... too much roast pork and chook and stuffing... too much trifle... too many crispy roast spuds and pumpkin... too much au gratin... too much trifle...
silly paper hats pulled from the christmas crackers... time weary jokes on teeny bits of paper... pink plastic lips - funny... a plastic 'clip on' moustache - even funnier, especially when paired with the lips... a plastic hopping frog... and more...
TRIFLE!! Loads of trifle... did I mention the trifle?
pressies... prettily wrapped and dripping with shiny gold curls... way too much fun for a ten week old baby kitty who likes to climb christmas trees... and play with shiny gold curls...
and family... an abundance of hugs and smiles and belly laughs... all day... right through the afternoon board game - 'Spicks and Specks'... board games on christmas day are a must...
And we wouldn't have it any other way...
Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas, fun Boxing Day, lazy Monday and way too much of all the good stuff :)
Today I'm playing with my pencils... seeya when I'm done :)

Merry Christmas, Cheryl! I hope you are well back-to-earth since your European tour, and that you're enjoying being at home again. It seems from this blog post that you are! I'm sure you're finding time for stitching too. All the best!

What a wonderful day you had. Christmas is such a special time. We ate the last of our trifle tonight. I love trifle.

Sounds like a wonderful day. Our kitty also likes gold curly things and in fact lots of strange things - and since we had to pay heaps during the year to remove a large rubber band from its insides we were not taking any chances with gold curly stuff and trees just begging to be climbed!

Cute cute CUTE kitty!!! Oh those eyes ;o)!!!
So glad you had such a wonderful Chrissy ... we've just had a rather belated one with all the kids together - just fabulous, had a ball.
