Not only Christmas, but of course #3 son's birthday... first one back in New Zealand sans husband... and for him sans father... wee bit tricky, wee bit sad, wee bit stressed, but all in all WE HAD A WONDERFUL DAY!
We got up early in the morning and felt weird so both suddenly started to tidy up the living area... once that was done we woke #2 son and got on with the delicate operation of opening pressies.... #2 son blew us away with his awesome gift of 6 seasons of Mythbusters... anyone who knows us three would know that we love that show, so we watched a bit of it on Christmas Day.
The three of us ate Bluebird Chips (crisps, chips, chippies) and dip for breakfast and when we remembered to have lunch it was nearly 3pm... we then made our home made pizza and enjoyed...
The weather outside was delightful, sunny, blue skies, hot weather, sparkling sunshine turning the ocean into the most beautiful sight... actually that view changes every day and is always beautiful. 'sigh'.
Of course we missed our friends in Thailand, of course we missed our small menagerie of beasts too... but life here is pretty lovely, we love each other, we love our sweet new cat, we love the clean air, we love not being covered in sweat all the time....
Next year who knows how we will celebrate Christmas by then? Hopefully, by then we will have found more of who we are here in NZ and will have sussed out new family traditions for our new family life.
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and chok dee for the New Year!
