We had a great Christmas! The best thing about a southern hemisphere Christmas is that it's the middle of summer here, and you can do stuff outside.

Must have been 50-odd people by the time all the rellies, rejigged and re-blended families, teenage boyfriends and various hangers on all congregated. Kicked around rugby balls, threw tennis balls for the dog until he was exhausted, ate more barbecue food until stuffed full, and drank enough beer to fall asleep quite comfortably last night.

Sounds great though to us in the UK and no doubt other Northern hemisphere Countries Christmas in the Sun would seen very strange. Just wouldn't be the same without all the miserable weather and long dark nights. LOL

I'll bet. The one Christmas I spent in the Northern hemisphere seemed all wrong to me. Big smile

All looks very tasty.

I´m beginning to set up for the traditional second day after Christmas lunch for my own family and my mother-in-law. Putting wood in the fireplace, cooking what needs to be cooked, and cleaning the house a bit. It won´t be until late afternoon that we eat, because my wife has been on work almost all christmas (today included), as she works on a home for the elderly, and most of her colleages have gotten Covid, because of the spread on the home of the elderly, so she has had to do a lot of shifts in the last week. We are in good mood though, and crazy as it sounds she has up until now not been infected with the virus (and she is tested frequently).

My better half was still working up until Christmas eve, and I wasn't, so I did all the Christmas shopping, including my own. So that means I got:

MACABRE (IL) - Carnival Of Killers cover

And while at the record store, I also bought her:

which made for something of an odd combo...

Also got the Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowling in disguise) book, The Witcher III game, a couple of other books, beer, cheese, and chocolate. Christmases don't get much better. Cool

We actually had a great Christmas evening with my close family. Cusins, aunts and uncles didn´t attend this year, so it was just our household, by brothers household, my parents and my mother-in-law.

Merry Christmas!

This year I have truly appreciated how lucky I am to live where I do. Things like shit internet really are first world problems when I see what people are having to put up with this Christmas. Here's some Kiwi humour for you, from the late Billy T. James, the greatest comedian New Zealand ever produced.

If you're wondering, Hauraki is the name of a radio station, and a Mark III is a Mark III Zephyr.
