Christmas Day 2011
Back to Christmas Day.....lots of photographs taken. Here is a selection.
My brother is a bell ringer at the village church.
We turned our nephew and nephew in law from being city slickers (well sort of) into country gentleman!
I must add that the majority of presents cost a minimal amount of money, found at car boot sales, bazaars, charity shops etc.
My brother is a games player - how wonderful that games were found that matched the occasion!
He shows us his Smart Ass and ponders on his Rubbish!
Christmas is for children, so they say. Fathers love it too - looking forward to playing with the toys.
Christmas Dinner is almost ready. Niece in law peers through the hatch from the kitchen.
Plates are laden with turkey and all the trimmings and many vegetables and sauces.
Christmas pudding. This one was made to a Victorian recipe donated to the village museum. My brother is the museum curator.
It was an exceedingly good pudding......with lashings of rum butter!
Rag dolls made by my sister in law. The new one she made this year for our great nephew. The old one was made over 30 years ago for our nephew.
Brother and sister in law open a present from their daughter.
Note the wrapping paper which was hand decorated by the giver with some help from little C.
Wonderful picture of C. Taken by our nephew - not me.
I thought it wouldn't be long before Daddy was playing with that Duplo Lego.
The new milk jug.
Young C opens presents with his auntie (our niece in law).
It's tea time.....anybody hungry?
Christmas cake.
Ooh! Is that bit for me?
Time for bed.
We enjoyed a lovely Christmas Day with family. The emphasis is on people rather than things.
