It seems from reading everyone's blogs that we are all celebrating in our own unique ways.
I do enjoy reading about all your festivities and seeing your photos too.
Our Christmas Eve is very low key.
P had to drive over the Mountain Road this morning and was at the B&Q store by 9 a.m. to try to get a replacement part for our kitchen drawer front that broke off yesterday. No luck as our kitchen units are too old and there are no spare parts for them.
Meanwhile, I walked into town to buy the Saturday newspaper, essential for the cryptic crossword and P's weekly TV guide. I may have also bought cake.
This evening we shall have roast duck with a bottle of fizz and then a vanilla cheesecake afterwards. We used to play Carols on the CD player each Christmas Eve but don't bother any more as I cannot hear them properly.
Tomorrow we shall be walking to our friends' flat for lunch and then stumbling home afterwards. The weather is forecast to be wet and windy. Now there's a surprise! I think we are fortunate though not to be experiencing the terrible weather conditions raging over the US at the moment. I hope that all of you over there are safe and keeping warm.
I shall leave you with a few photos. Our meagre festive decorations and Elfie with his pals getting ready to leave for the North Pole.
Merry Christmas!
Good Elfie to you both and enjoy tomorrow's party and stumble home singing Christmas Carol's.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Dave.
DeleteWe have snow and it is very cold but I am lucky that I don't have to go out. Everyone is coming to me as I am hosting Christmas Eve snacks/dessert and Christmas dinner (tacos!) Not too fancy but hopefully lots of fun. Merry Christmas to you too, JayCee (and P)!
ReplyDeleteHave fun and enjoy your Christmas x
DeleteHappy Christmas. You will miss elfie
ReplyDeleteHe wears me out!
DeleteHappy Christmas to you too.
Merry Xmas JC and P. Stumbling home from Christmas from a friends flat sounds wonderful. Do you have to do the dishes or does the stumbling part let you off that duty?
ReplyDeleteI do hope the day is sunny and bright. All the best
Ooh I hadn't thought about the washing up. I hope they have a dishwasher!
DeleteMerry Christmas to you and yours x
Enjoy your Christmas JC and do your own thing at all times. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel...I usually do, as you can no doubt tell!
DeleteEnjoy your day, too x
Love your jolly Santa!
ReplyDeleteHe is very jolly isn't he.
DeleteAll in all that sounds like a great Christmas. Tiny signs of neighbourlyness have made our first Christmas back a warm reminder that we are 'home'. Seeing friends tonight and a Boxing Day outing planned.... good cheer... enjoy yours.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time x
DeleteWishing you both a Merry, merry Christmas JayCee ..... many thanks for your blogging friendship and look forward to more in 2023. Lots of love. XXXX
ReplyDeleteThank you Jackie. I really appreciate your blog-friendship too xxxx
DeleteWeather looks good, so a nice long dog walk before I head off for Christmas lunch with friends.
ReplyDeleteAnother dog walk when I return home to walk off some of those calories!
Happy Christmas - have a lovely day.
You too, CG! xx
DeleteMy ex husband went east to visit my son and his wife and girls and to see Cara again, and meet her husband Colin. Christmas eve, he stopped here to see our other daughter and her SO and William. We always invite them all in for a meal. He was leaving this morning to head home (his wife is a health care worker and worked the holiday). I made strata last night before we went to bed to pop in the oven this morning. We had a good Christmas morning breakfast and a nice visit before he headed home.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds very civilised, Debby. Pleased you enjoyed your day.
ReplyDeleteI had to Google strata.. sounds like a good breakfast to start the day.
