'Twas the day before Christmas

Well its Christmas Eve and Maxine is finished studying the cookbooks on the perfect Christmas Turkey - the *huge* bird is in the oven, the last minute shopping is done and its time to drink and be merry in the Australian Christmas sun. 26 degrees gives a very different feeling to Christmas rather than the cold and fog ! It feels like a June day in England. Wearing
shorts around the festivities takes some getting used to.

Ethan keeps looking in the sky and seeing Santa Claus apparently but so far there have been no sightings by the adults. He is still after 'Electric Trains and Lego Muck' which is a huge relief all round really.... 'cos he's not getting anything else at this late hour. He's been distracted from all the excitement by his grandparents who've taken him to the pictures to see 'Flushed Away'. I doubt we'll be getting many hours sleep tonight somehow. Aidan continues to sleep, eat and play - oblivious to the madness of Christmas activity around him.

Finally, we'd like to wish everyone we know from all around the globe and who reads our little blog, a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. Have a good one all and we hope to see you in 2007.
