Merry Christmas Everyone!
This was not my first Xmas down under, I
was lucky enough to spend the Xmas of 2010 here a few years back. However for
Nay, Jed and Annah a whole new experience was about to unravel.
It goes without saying that you’ll never
get a white Xmas down here…but you will get turkey dinners, Michael Bublé,
silly hats and moustaches…
Xmas eve began with the customary last dash
present grab in town which was packed, and after a hard days shopping and bit
of football on the lawn into the hot tub for the first time since mum and dad
moved in 6 days ago.
Christmas morning begins with a fry up –
all the usual. Sausages, Eggs, Bacon, Beans etc. If your going to have one day
a year where you want to fill yourself to bursting then you might as well start
as you mean to go on!!
For lunch here Mum and Dad get together
with 2 other groups of close family friends for a 20 person round table food
feast.
And then its down to business, or more accurately,
DOWN TO THE BEACH!
Tag rugby, Kayaks, Snorkels the whole works
– including some awesome sea gymnastics, crowned by Jack who was the first to
launch and must have cleared 10 ft in the air – A few of the video best bits:
Back home in the evening to wind down,
apply some aftersun and for Nay and I a chance to pack our bags for 8 weeks in
Australia. Boxing day will be spent with more family in Christchurch, then next
stop = Sydney to bring in 2013 and all the adventures that will bring!
