  1. I saw a post today that said its not what is under the Christmas tree that counts, but who is around it.
    I am so pleased you have such lovely people around your tree.

    1. Thank you Jules and thank you for visiting. I was fascinated by a photo on your blog which included an old gramophone. I have one which looks identical (but with a different trade name) which was a present to my mother around 1930.

  4. This looks very civilised. Wasn't anyone asleep in their dinner?
    That is a very bright slinky.

    1. No Adrian even I was awake. As for the Slinky I'm used to the stainless steel ones but Carol (in Cairns) had a very classy copper one on her recent post.

    1. Red we are about 20 hours ahead of you. I have some difficulty with time zones even after living in places between 11 and 13 hours apart (depending on the relative summertimes) for 8 years.

  6. What's that you are clinking glasses with? Looks like Aperol Spritz, but I doubt the children would be allowed drinking that, not even on Christmas.
    Good to see such radiant faces around the table. Merry Christmas to all!

    1. Meike it was a fizz cocktail (for the adults) and a non-alcoholic version for the young ones. It was a very happy meal.

    1. Virginia we are toasting with fizz cocktails (some alcoholic and some non-alcoholic). We are eating the prawn cocktails from less-than-traditional bowls because they are easier to use.

  11. A happy scene indeed, and lucky you that gales and rain are just a faraway thought....

    I love the red blue and white colour scheme, although I suppose it is not intentional that most of you wore harmonising clothes!

    1. Oh dear Jenny. I hadn't even noticed the colour coordination. It's purely coincidental. I can't help thinking about all my friends and family in the UK who are enduring such bad weather.
