We were fortunate enough to celebrate THREE Christmases this year, one in California and two in England. Our first English Christmas was Christmas Day, our first full day here.
Cora woke up to find that Santa, or Father Christmas, had come by and left her a Peter Pan dollset! She had asked for a Peter Pan doll, which are VERY hard to find these days since the movie is so old. Cora thought she was very lucky to have received not just one doll, but a whole set from the movie.
Violet also likes playing with the set, especially the Wendy doll, a word she says especially clearly.
Before our afternoon feast of roast pork and vegetables, there was a lot of work to be done. Brussel sprouts are a roast dinner must-have in England, so here, Cora is helping Nan prepare them. Big Nan joined us for dinner on Christmas, and we all enjoyed a Christmas Carol sing-song with Stace on Gord's guitar.
Our second English Christmas was on Boxing Day, when Big Nan, Dean, Jenny and Euan came over for a day of eating and presents. Cora cleared her plate of the delicious roast turkey and trimmings.
Nan and her grandsons, after she gave us our gifts. Thanks Nan! We'll let you know what we get with the money!
