Our first ever time to host Christmas lunch! A nerve racking experience, but Phil is the master of cooking roast dinners in our family. The turkey worked out really well! I was really pleased with how the table looked! I bought these Santa Hat Chair covers from a shop in Berlin and we put out Bonbon's, chocolates and sparklers in the hats. That worked well, as there was not much room on the table after setting it all out! A delicious lunch, complete with the usual bits and pieces we are used to (ordered at the English Shop in Cologne). The only thing we really missed was the fresh prawns and crayfish...although Uncle David let us know that they were about to start on theirs after we had called them!!
In the afternoon we settled back and watched Polar Express, one of Cameron's new DVD's. Officially we had snow on Xmas Day, but it didn't happen until about 9pm! But all the same technically a White Christmas, now we hope it keeps going strong!!!!!

Nana and Pa had a great day as well, and I was glad that for once they could sit back and relax, instead of doing all the hard work that is involved with organising lunch!
Merry Christmas everyone!
