Re: Christmas past...

With four daughters Christmas has always been very hectic, when they were young it was dolls, dolls houses, dolls prams,dresses,annuals,and one would wake the others at some unearthly hour no chance to stay in bed,then off to grandmas for tea with a car full of toys.As they grew older it was music and tvs and lads hanging around the front of the house.
Now its all at our house on Christmas day---4 daughters 4 husbands 5 grandchildren 2 boyfriends 1 husband 1 greatgranchild and this year we have another greatgrandchild 4 months old. Grand Total 20 Me and Wife included great party plenty of food and we all enjoy it and look foward to meeting. I get the washing up.

At least it will make it easier for those of us who have to take to the roads come Christmas Day.

See, I'm not as daft as I am cabbage looking.
I am sure that I read somewhere that the fruit and the meat with the spices came back with the crusaders....certainly moroccan dishes today contain lamb and apricots along with spices.......and for anyone who wants to tell me that Morocco is North Africa, not arabia, I know.
