Another Christmas Done
So another Christmas is done. Glen was on call so we didn’t do very much at all. Glen’s parents are pretty much the only family that we have in Brisbane, and they don’t really get into the Christmas spirit so it’s not like a Christmas with my family. Glen and his parents have a couple of traditions for Christmas – fruit salad for breakfast and plum pudding for dessert.
My nephew-in-law (his name is also Glen with one ‘n’ – and technically he is my sister’s nephew) and his partner Michael, have moved to Brisbane and they don’t have any family in Brisbane either. So I went around to their place on Christmas just for a visit. They were great and they put on some good food and wine. They love Christmas (like me). We had bon bons and wore the silly paper crown hats that come in them.
After a couple of hours, I went home and we had a BBQ dinner. The main course was garlic prawns (I had a sausage cause I can’t eat prawns / meat).
A few people that I talked to weren’t happy with the drowsy weather. I quite enjoyed not having the sweltering heat that we have had before on Christmas. I remember a Christmas and it got to 42 degrees!
