Journal Day 4

I am cooking for 11 today as we do our big Christmas draw today (who buys presents for whom), we (my M & D, brothers, DD#1 and boyf, GDG, DD#2 and fiance) decided a long time ago that our Christmas day should be about being together as an extended family not all about gifts, so we each pick a name out of the hat and buy one person something lovely that they long for :0) it also means that DH and my Dad have to so their own shopping!! Somehow I still am the one to shop for friends, the kids, his family, neighbours etc whilst his name goes on the gift tag!!

Every year around about now I cook a slow roast (pork today) and we celebrate pre Christmas as a family. We won't all get together again until the big day so it's kind of nice :0) We are also celebrating Dan's birthday, although this a new reason to get together as this is the first year he has been around - he won't know what's hit him!! He already claims to have had more photos taken this past year than the rest of his life put together!!

Anyway on to today's page:


Thanks for stopping by, hope you are having a happy Sunday too,

  1. What a happy page! :) Love the ornaments! :)

    Your family tradition sounds awesome. Takes off the stress of getting pressies for everyone.
