Christmas Eve.

This morning Robin and I slept in a bit, neglecting our duties only slightly.  We headed out to pick up some last minute things like food and a little Wi-Fi box.  I now don’t have to go to the library anymore to get Wi-Fi!

We took our time getting home and once we got there it was time to start decorating.  I put ropes of tinsel on every single door to make things look more festive and more like home.  Then it was time to set up the tables, my job was to iron the table clothes and make everything look pretty, which wasn’t difficult for me.

I chilled out for a bit before Sharon came home at 3:30 and then the real work began.  Sharon was running down one hall and then back again, grabbing things she had forgotten and setting new things up.  If you asked her what you could do she would say she had it under control so I would have to watch closely to find something to do.

We had just finished making pizza dough for dinner when Vince and Lyn showed up with all the presents, which we set up under the tree.  We continued to cook with an extra hand in the kitchen, just when the pizzas were about to go in the oven when Jenna, her husband Tom, Evie, and Fee pulled up in their car.

Fee and I went for a quick walk to the top of the Mount to the tower and back down, we made it home just as the fourth pizza was coming out of the oven.  Lots had been eaten already but Fee and I had plenty to eat.  We tidied up the kitchen and I headed for the shower.

I had totally forgotten and only when I sat down to watch a Christmas event in Melbourne did I realize it was Christmas Eve.  It didn’t quite feel like Christmas Eve here but I was excited nonetheless for the day that awaited tomorrow.
