Lisa's Christmas!!
I don't have a picture of Lisa to offer you or she might shout at me - however you can find her HERE (as you are all well aware).Lisa if you have a pic you would be happy for me to put up, e-mail it to me!
For any new people, Lisa is our NEW ZEALAND CORRESPONDENT - but no jokes about "down under"... The thing you need to be aware of and get your head around is that her Christmas was spent basking in sunshine not shivering in the cold. Christmas falls during the summer in NZ. How weird is that!!??
So Lisa, how was your Christmas on a scale of 1 (crap) to 10 (fantastic)?
9
Where did you eat?
We congregated at the orchard. And we ate in the double garage lol (It was the biggest room to house us all lol)
Who was at your table?
My parents, my brother, his fiancee and 14mth old daughter, my sister, both my sons (of course!), brother in law, nieces, nephews, step grandchildren...yeah, it WAS a big table lol
What was the food like? What was it?
It was delicious but like an anchor lol. chocolate, peanuts, chips and dip. Roast pork, stuffed chicken, veges, salad, pavlova, trifle (you do understand that was over the course of the day right? Not just in one sitting? WAS TOO!)
Did your family have any "heated" moments?
Yep, the following day, my two step-nieces (both adults) had a major barny about nothing much, there were clothes and toiletries being thrown out of the bedroom across the garden. AND one of the girls actually broke the other one's finger!! My brother reckoned it was better than watching the telly LOL Naughty man shoulda intervened, he is a cop afterall.
What did you get for Christmas as presents?
Bugger all lol I got an iPod shuffle, and a beautifully framed photo of Anna and Jaimee from a close friend. We don't buy for adults in our family, just the kids, so I was lucky to get anything at all! lol
What was your best present and who was it from?
My favourite was the iPod shuffle the boys gave me. It was a complete surprise and I was so overcome with the thoughtfulness of it because I'd been banging on about one for bloody ages lol
What was the best present you gave someone else?
Probably would have to say the car my ex-husband and I gave the kids by the reaction we got from them lol
Did you get any presents from someone that you didn't think of and had to thank them and give them nothing back? Were you embarrassed?
No and No (Yay, a short answer! lol)
Did you watch TV after your Christmas dinner? If so what did you watch?
Yes but I can't remember what it was, I may have been asleep on the sofa during it!
Did your family play a game? If so what was it?
No, we don't play games, shame really, mighta fancied some charades myself lol
Did you get drunk over Christmas - if so how drunk were you? Any stories about that?
No I didn't and thus have no stories. (I had my parents closeby, I am, if nothing else, the dutiful 'good' daughter, in their eyes anyway lol)
Did you have a romantic Christmas? If so give us the details.
I wish I could say yes to this one, but alas, that's a negative on the romance. I could MAKE up some details if you like lol
Finally make one wish for 2007 and share it with us - IT WILL COME TRUE!!! (Honestly!!)
I wish I was in Belfast, if only for a few hours to spend some time with you all. *closes eyes and holds breath, waiting to be transported*
