We love Christmas, we really get in to the festive spirit with the music, movies, food, markets and general happiness and excitement which seems so infectious at this time of year.
This year was a relatively quiet Christmas for us. We did do the usual winter things though including a trip to Winter Wonderland, lots of festive drinks and meals at cosy pubs, visiting various Christmas markets, lots of baking and cooking, and of course plenty of eating.
Theo enjoyed it all although he got in to the holiday spirit by sleeping in pretty much every day of the holiday, including till 9am on one day and 7.30 on Christmas day. We enjoyed the sleep ins but sometimes were left waiting for him to get up so we could start the day.
On Christmas day we had our cousin Carla over and had a traditional turkey meal with all the trimmings for lunch with trifle for pudding. We ate way too much, enjoyed each others company and just had an all round great day.
Apart from Christmas day we went for a decent walk every day so the damage done from all the eating and drinking was hopefully limited.
It was great to have ten days as completely uninterrupted family time and was pretty tough to go back to work.
Here's a few pics from the festive period...

| Pretty happy with my turkey although think maybe next year we might try something different |

| Not my best turkey meal but it did the trick. |

| This trifle served as breakfast, afternoon tea and pudding for 3 days. |
We hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable festive period where ever in the world you are.
