Christmas.........what do you do........

This is the keep the motivation up for all the sewers in the Secret Santa Christmas Swap. Oh and I am starting to get some photos emailed in and WOW...........I want to show you all but I had better wait .................

After an email from Nicolette the other day I started thinking more about Christmas............

In the Netherlands they do not celebrate Christmas like we do here in Australia they celebrate Sinterklaas on the 5th December - sounds like an absolute fun day to me they get up to mischief but Nicolette will tell you more about that maybe over the weekend. I told her to post the email she sent me.........

We were also discussing Thanks Giving but neither of us celebrate it and I think it is coming up for the US. I am not really sure what it is...........

This is my Chritmas tree from last year......not the best picture

but the only one without the kids in it..............lots of decorations made by the kids are on our tree.........

every year we celebrate Christmas Day with family and occassioanlly have had extras that have not had there own family to spend the day with........

Usually it is very hot but last year there were no fans or airconditioners blowing away to keep us cool. The weather was wonderful and cool.

Our neighbours always come for breakfast.............

I always do a cold lunch...........cold meats and salads but lots do a full on hot roast dinners and others do BBQ etc.........yummy desserts and that is just lunch then pack up and head to the other side of the family and roll in for dinner and wonder why you feel so "fat and full" at the end of the day...........

Boxing Day 26th Dec is often used just to catch up on rest from Christmas Day.............

Christmas is also the start of our long school holidays...............break up just before Christmas and then the kids don't go back to school until early February.

So tell us on your blog what do you do for Christmas, where do you go, food you eat etc..............it would be fun reading different posts over the coming weeks................
