Default Christmas Holidays

Jacquie,
I will be going home to my son and daughter in laws on friday and will stay for 4-5 days. I love waking up with my grandchildren on Christmas morning. I have done this for the last 17 years. I wouldn't miss it. Even though they are 13 and 17 we still believe in Santa Claus (Father Christmas). I told them as long as they believe, he will bring them gifts!!!!!
Christmas Eve our family participates in the Live Nativity that our church does prior to the services. Then Paul and Rebecca will sing in the Childrens service at 4pm and Paul and my son Andy sing for the 8pm service, but my favorite service of the whole year is the 11pm Candlelight Service of the Carols. So we will spend the evening at church. This year my granddaughter wants to help cook Christmas dinner so I will have help in the kitchen. She has already told Paul since she is cooking he has to do the dishes! Family and friends will be in and out all day sunday.

Here is wishing you and your a very Merry Christmas and a most Happy New Year! Be careful with that hand, and the left handed wine

joan have a lovely time with the family, it's great (and easier) to now be able to picture you all together, having now seen your lovely family pics :-*
have a wonderful christmas time! it'll be great to all be back together! what do you get up to??


you too patti! have a fabulous time! what are your plans?


i wonder how dayle's getting on? funny to think she has swim suit weather!!! (in my dreams!!) lol... having said that, the weather is behaving itself somewhat at the moment. it's just dull and damp. i can cope with that!! no ice!! woohoo!!!


we're having christmas day at my parents with all our family, also col's dad & brother. col & i plan on sleeping their too.
i have 2.5 hours work on tuesday & thursday doing the 'tea time' shift, then i'm off until the 11th jan.
i should be able to cope with that left handed cooking and washing up lol...


i think i told you in my 'row robin' letter that Rachael sings with our local theatre, well... she's been invited to sing at our church tomorrow night.
my mum is in the church choir, and they would like her to start off (with Phoebe) the first verse of 'away in a manger', then we; the congregation will join in with the rest.
i bought Rachael a beautiful red dress from 'The wedding planner' where we're getting all of the dresses for the wedding, so she will look gorgeous! my mum also bought phoebe an equally gorgeous red dress, they will look beautiful together i can't wait to see they both dressed up! i'll show you pics asap (hopefully tomorrow night)


have a lovely day ladies!!
love jacquie xxxx
