11.11am, CHRISTMAS! Being Christmassy, doing Christmassy things. Actually, I think at 11.11am, Dad and I were doing something unChristmassy – swimming in the sea! It's become a bit of a tradition for us when we spend Christmas together in Cornwall, to go down to Sennen (my favourite beach in the world) and do the Christmas Day Swim with about 300 other people. I love it!
After the swim, we stayed around for a cup of tea and a mince pie by the fire, before going back home and beginning the Christmas celebrations with all the family!
The Pyrahs and the Reeses Pieces came over (the Harrisons and Higgins were already there, and we'd had a lovely couple of hours together opening pressies and playing, before Dad and I came to the beach) and the day of presents, food and fun began. Soooo many presents, and sooooo much food – and soooo much fun! We just had the best time scamping around and making lots of noise and mess, and just loving being a family together at Christmas. It's the first time in 10 years that all of us daughters have spent Christmas together. Last time we did, there were no kids (well, we were the kids) – this year, there were seven little ones!
When all the children had gone home/to bed, and all the adults were zonked, we ate cheese for dinner and drank wine and chatted with Mum and Dad. Good chats, good times. Great times! I wonder when we'll all have Christmas together again? Soon I hope!
