Happy Christmas Everyone

Happy Christmas everyone – hope everyone had a good time.  Our Christmas started on Christmas Eve.  We met Michael and the Halpin’s at Glasgow Cathedral for the vigil mass.  After mass we went up to see the crib and Mo gave Ella a coin and told her to light a candle for Granny Meg.  Ella started looking about and asking where she was!!  We all walked up to George Square for a go on the rides and get into the Christmas Spirit.  A Great start to the festivities.  We got home about 9 o’clock and the kids went to bed.  Michael, Mo and I had a wee glass of wine before Santa Came.  Jean and Eddie came round to our place after evening mass – about midnight.  Had another glass of wine and got to bed about 1 o’clock.

The oven came on at 6am for the huge turkey.  And we all got up at 8 to have breakfast and open the presents.  We were having Jean & Eddie, Fiona & Gordon, Laura & Craig, Siobhan and Stuart for dinner so after the presents were opened and the paper tidied up, Mo,Jean and I started getting things prepared.  Mo got me a new camera – so prepare for some more double dully photo’s in 2009.  Michael left about 2 o’clock.  He was going down to Fiona’s for dinner with Mum and Dad.  We sat down for dinner at about 3 and it was a great success!  It was so tasty and there was loads of food.  Everyone left about 10:30.
