The Magic of Christmas: Christmas Day


Christmas Eve was pretty magical in itself this year. We spent the morning at Ant and Emma's exchanging presents with the girls and speaking to Auntie Judy and Uncle Ian in Australia via Skype. Jamie loved playing with all the girls toys! After a rest in the afternoon we headed off to church for Christingle. This is lovely every year with the fully interactive Christmas story (not the traditional one!) and seeing everyone in the candlelight. Then we headed back and nanna came in for a few glasses of wine and we opened our presents from nanna and she opened hers! Jamie got a bike and a helmet. He was very excited!!

Then Christmas morning I awoke first and tried to creep out of bed, but was soon aware that I was being followed so I quickly woke up Daddy. I had mentioned to Daddy prior to Christmas Eve about one of the customs mentioned at: http://grumpymumtobe.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-customs.html but we had said nothing more. We were all surprised then, when I turned on the Christmas lights in the front room to find footprints from the chimney to the tree!! 'Santa must have brought the snow in on his boots from the North Pole' said Daddy. Truly Magical!!
