- My only White Christmas, at Plockton. Magic
- At the Leukemia Village, Dec 25 2011. Just out of hospital. Visits from Helen and Pat and Judy Parker. Ian totally solicitous.
- 2 years later, also at the Village, second time around. This time, we hosted Christmas lunch with Mum and Dad. Dad not specially well, but better than I was. THe unit was COLD, the food was hot. Very pleasant.
- 2 years ago when we had Ann Catriona and the Chestertons. Sun room had just been completed, and we enjoyed sitting there in the morning. See the blog for 2011.
Christmas as a Gibson.
- Christmas Eve more fun than the actual day. Getting the tree very early, then decorating the Gordon St tree, food preparation (fruit salad, cooking chooks, and pavlova) swim late in the afternoon at the town pool with everyone, particularly remember the Butz-Olsens.
- Christmas Day. Up early, open santa stuff then quick bfast and off to Church. Packed in earlier years. Dad and Don Shann and Reg Ross and Paul Funda lugging extra seating into church. Open presents one at a time at Grandpa and Grandmas's. Lull for food prepare. All cold. Else's potato salad. Discussions about politics. Who does the washing up? Home for a rest. Walk on the beach then leftovers that always included ham, for tea. Queen's Chrstmas message compulsory.
