Tuesday 24 December - Christmas dinner, Christmas Eve





Current location: Ettalong Beach
11.11pm, Playing Jenga. Tonight had the feel of Christmas night, thanks to the board games and the fact we had our main Christmas dinner tonight. 
In the day, we prepped for dinner, did final bits for tomorrow and went to KMart, which was more fun than it sounds! It was also crazy busy but we kept ourselves entertained playing with all the toys. 
In the evening, I went to church (like the good catholic I am) accompanied by Andy (like the good boyfriend he is). It's a beautiful church in Woy Woy and the carols and hymns were beautiful. It was absolutely packed out, with standing ro only, and it was lovely to see all the kids excited and be in a room full of people singing and wishing each other a merry Christmas! Singing hymns always reminds me of my sister Claire so I sang up loud and proud for her! 
By the time we got home, Nick and Bree had arrived and we were ready to eat, drink and be merry! 
Dinner was absolutely amazing, with huge thanks to Val and Jess, who kept us so well fed. We even had the most amazing Christmas pud made by Jess from a recipe that has been handed down through the generations of her family. 
After we were truly stuffed, like the turkey, we retired to the lounge for more games including Jenga, which terrifies me! We also played celebrity heads, which was hilarious, and generally just spent the evening laughing, drinking and going to bed waaaay past our bedtime!
