Well it has been a traditional Anderson Christmas day and the best part of that for me is all of us being together. The day started with everyone opening presents in our bedroom - including Jack! I will not go into details of all the wonderful presents that we received except that they were so very thoughtful that I felt very grateful. Grandma, Forrest, Marjory and the children came round in the morning and we had champagne (or Champomy for those too young or not inclined to have alcohol), party snacks and Christmas cake. Later Grandma came back round for dinner and we were unusually efficient at getting everything served out, warm, at 5 p.m. Everything was cooked to perfection apart from the chipolatas which were a bit overdone.
Much later as we sat around playing games, replete and contented, I asked my boys what has been their favourite part of Christmas day. Jamie and Ally both said that they enjoyed their cousins being round in the morning, and Davie said he enjoyed winning a game of Risk for the first time ever! James said he enjoyed making a good job of Christmas dinner.
