IT'S CHRIIIIIIIIISMAS!

I hate to admit this but Christmas as a foursome are always a little bit flat.  

It seems like the same as every other day, this year though, without the expectation for a glamourous Hollywood Chrismas and the distinct lack of, not only snow, a chill in the air, we had a lovely time.

The whole day was relaxed and because there wasn't this heightened expectation of perfection we had a good time.  

The food was ready when it was ready and it wasn't the glutton fest that it sometimes can be.  

We had a tipple or two of fruitsecco, and spent the evening playing games and watching Christmas TV (Emmerdale made me weep).  

The day wasn't about the gifts, it was about spending time together.
