First let us wish you a very Happy and Prosperous New year!
December being the festive season, all the photos this month are of the Christmas/New Year celebrations! There are a lot, so I'll waste no time talking about it and let you just sit back and enjoy the photos, which speak for themselves. (If you get part way looking at them, you can always come back another time and click on the last photos you looked at, and the slide show should continue from there!)
John, Silvia and the kids came up from Denmark (WA) for Christmas this year, stayed with Liesel and Dieter 2 or 3 nights, then spent the rest of the time until New Year's Day in our caravan. It was lovely having them all though rather hectic I have to admit, chuckle!
Christmas Eve at Liesel and Dieter's

Some of the 'early' presents! (taken by Emil with his new camera)


Christmas Eve Dinner, cooked by Silvia and Liesel, starting with cocktails!
and juice for the kids!










Yummy desert!
and finally Silvia's Christmas pudding - well alight!

Christmas Day at Matt and Aveni's




















I think these 3 photos were taken by Emil too!

Mike's Boxing Day empanada!

Fancy Dress time before midnight!











Well, now you have some idea of how we spend Christmas/New Year here in Oz - not much different from your UK/European festivities except we can sit outside to eat, chuckle!
See you all next month! (We do have a video clip of Jo, Si, Alex and Lizzie's turn, but it's not suitable for internet viewing, chuckle!!)
