And so this is Christmas

It's been a social time.

Mama Minestrone cooking up a storm for school lunch

when she could be making Christmas puddings

Went to The Eastcoaster for bubbles and Korean Squid with Cheryl Swim,

and again for Ella's 22nd birthday

sometimes I stayed home to eat and watch others work

Van Diemen's Band and choirs at Spring Bay Mill,

always the start of Christmas for me.

More carols the next night,

free this time.

It's lovely when you know everyone in the choir.

Here, Gina and Robyn rock out Santa Baby.  Rob waits to resume MCing duties.

Father Christmas gave the children bubble machines.

Georgia and I were very grateful for Ella's youthful looks.

There  have been other feasts along the way but I was too busy eating to take photographs,

with one exception:

Pizza and Christmas Pud with Georgia and Ella last night

(after an oyster and bubbly bash with The Cousins yesterday afternoon)

And so, for now, I will leave you with red and green.

and wishes for a

Very Merry Christmas

and a

Fabulous 2023

(not forgetting Chinese New Year on 22 January.  Bring on the Bunnies)
