Christmas 2006 - Continued
After
the main presents were opened my mother started the process of making
the Christmas dinner. Sorcha and I tried to get her MP3 player,
Portable DVD and a "Pirates of the Carribean" games DVD working.
We had limited success as the MP3 needed its battery charging and
the Pirates DVD didn't work!
Melly went to fetch Annie (Imelda’s Mum), Jacinta (Sister) and Reece
(Nicky was abroad on army duty) and they arrived about 1.30 pm for Christmas dinner. We drank a hot punch and then shortly afterwards we ate the usual turkey dinner, followed by a "properly timed"
Christmas pudding. Afterwards we opened the Christmas
tree presents. Melly and I got a matching pair
of Christmas themed thongs! from Jacinta.
Annie,
Jacinta and Reece
left about 7.00 pm. Later in the evening we had the traditional
Christmas tea, consisting of a salad with assorted meats and the
Christmas cake. Christmas 2006 slowly began to come to a close as
we watched a Christmas film on TV. The next day
we took Beverley and Ffion to Knock Airport.
