They even went into the oven at the right time. Zenophran's family came over and we ate and had lemon meringue pie. We opened presents and I kicked them out mid-afternoon :)
Then we went to my folks for tea. This involves yet more turkey and ham. AND PAVLOVA!
mmm.. meringue and cream.. ahhhhh..
I am soooo full!!!
Were your holiday cards store bought, handmade, online, TBD or MIA?
I think at this stage they are MIA. I bought a pack a few weekends ago with the intention of sending them off early.
They were still on my desk this morning until the boy stole them and gave them all to his friends.
I think I will have to use email :)
Who do you want to be caught under the mistletoe with this holiday season?

Well, not counting Zenophran,of course, I would have to say David Tennant.

Now, when Taldals first saw this, she started giggling uncontrollably.

It was her birthday yesterday. So I made her this for tomorrow at work
Shhh.. Don't tell her now.
Last night, the family went out to dinner for my birthday. It was at a nice seafood buffet restaurant in the city.
I thought I knew everyone who was coming. But naturally, we had a gatecrasher.
At the end of dinner, the birthday cake was brought out and everyone (including total strangers) started singing. There was no where to hide - even the dalek abandoned me as a good place to hide!
So much for the diet! (Which, of course, was dutifully abandoned for the night) The cake is chocolate, covered in chocolate ganache (read chocolate + butter) , dark chocolate, strawberries and ferrero rocher.
Well, I did ask for chocolate cake!
Audio: What's your favorite carol or holiday song?
There is no frost and there is no snow
Christmas in Australia's hot
Cold and frosty is what its not
When the bloom of the Jackaranda tree is here
Christmas time is near
From England came our Christmas fare
They even said what Santa should wear
But here down under for summers cool
Santa should dip in a swimming pool
Christmas where the gum trees grow
There is no frost and there is no snow
Christmas in Australia's hot
Cold and frosty is what its not
When the bloom of the Jackaranda tree is here
Christmas time is near
Santa rides in a sleigh on snow
But down here where the gum trees grow
Santa should wear some water ski's
And glide around Australia with ease
Christmas where the gum trees grow
There is no frost and there is no snow
Christmas in Australia's hot
Cold and frosty is what its not
When the bloom of the Jackaranda tree is here
Christmas time is near
To ride around the bush where its dry
To cart all the presents piled so high
A red nosed reindeer would never do
Santa should jump on a kangaroo
Christmas where the gum trees grow
There is no frost and there is no snow
Christmas in Australia's hot
Cold and frosty is what its not
When the bloom of the Jackaranda tree is here
Christmas time is near
