Christmas day

Waking up on Christmas Day morn to peace and quiet. After putting the turkey in to cook and the cats fed, it`s time to take a large frothy coffee and a good book in hand, curl up on the sofa and enjoy a moment before all hell is let lose.  

This is heaven, enjoying a quiet house, while the kids are asleep in their beds, dreaming of their Christmas gifts and all the luxuries of the day.  The cat is snoozing close by and the silence is a wonderful gift to start this day well. It won`t large too lobe, so making the most of it all the same!

By mid morning, movement can be hears and then there`s excitement in the air, the anticipation of Santa`s visit. What will be under the Christmas Tree. Even the cats are aware of the change in the house.

Turkey smells good and the table is laid with sumptuous spread of wonder fit for a king!  best crockery and cutlery not to mention the crackers.... it`s going to be a fabulous feast.

Once the meal is finished and everything is cleared away, it`s time to open the presents!  
There is an air of anticipation and excitement, what`s under all the colour wrappings?
Watching them opening their presents is such a wondrous experience.  Their expressions as the unwrap their gifts, trying to guess what each one is. Then their joyous squeals of pleasure as they find out it`s what they wanted.  Sheer satisfaction!! 

Laughter and happy chatter follows as they enjoy their gifts. Working out how things work and browsing their books is a great to watch, as I know they are content with all they have received.

This Christmas day has been a wonderful day surrounded by my family.
I`m grateful for this day, feel happy that everyone has come together to celebrate this lovely time of the Festive Season. 

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas Day with family and friends.  May this season of good will continues into the new Year too.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas
