This is the third Christmas us three Birds have enjoyed together on this side of the world. Normally a couple other kiwis join us too but this year it's just us. These are the only Christmases Jbird and I know as a married couple, it will be strange to return home one day and take back the summer traditions together.
So far it's been lovely. We got up nice and early to get Jbird to church to play the piano. It's always nice to celebrate the reason with other believers. There have been a few nice surprises for everyone under the tree. We are in a bigger kitchen than we're used to which has been fun for Soph and I: food preparation is that much easier and it seems less messy. We made the panettone into French bread for brunch with bacon and maple syrup. We haven't drunk or eaten too much, and haven't yet broken anything. We could only be happier if it snowed!
It's time for a Christmas movie before we start cooking dinner. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you! What a cool time of your lives this is, making memories so that one day, after 20 summer Christmas' married you'll say 'remember those winter Christmas' we once had...'
ReplyDeleteyes! I'm definitely hoping to say "remember" in regards to the wintery Christmases as opposed to the summery ones!
