KISSMAS DAY

Early start after a late night on Christmas Eve... After a couple hours of beauty rest, all of us got up, and got ready for Morning Christmas Mass at Brompton Oratory... It was a new experience for me to attend a Christmas mass in a Catholic Church... the experience was interesting... but to be frank, where we were sitting, i could hardly hear what the priest was saying.. but all in all it was a good thing i attended... then i came upon a stranger's house and fell in love with their wreath...
Then, back in the house, Val gave me a little present, a little chocolaty 'toy' from Belgium... It was a block of dark chocolate, and the fun was to stir the block in hot milk, to watch the swirl and bits of the chocolate melting and dissolving away...

BEFOREAFTER
Soon after, we get down to preparing the food, while the little princess, Saffie catches up on her beauty sleep... Val and I prepared so much so much food... well.. it was meant to fill our tums tums till the following day anyway... My task was the mozerella and tomato entree, while Val prepared the duck, the orange sauce, the vegetables, the soup, etc.... so this was the dish i prepared...and these are the fun crackers we had... it came with whistles of different note, and a 'conductor' was supposed to conduct these whistles-blower (pural because, each of us were handling at least 2 whistles), based on a numerical score... it was very fun... the most popular piece, with a few encore, was Chitty chitty bang bang and the Can Can(the hot favourite, where we practiced and practiced to synchronise and perfected it...)... and the galore of food.. YUM YUM!!!
And there was the photo taking session, despite feeling famished...
nat and i...val and i...saffie and i... and all of us at the table.. using the timer feature on the digital camera...
after dinner and lounging around.. it was time to remove the decoration from the christmas tree.. santa's little elf seemed to have it the other way around... and put back most of the decoration back on the wilted tree... saffie seemed really shocked that the tree turned out so bare and naked... and dried of course...
I had a wonderful christmas with the girlies... thank you!!!! have a blessed and sexiting new year ahead yeah!!!!
