The Big Evening finally arrived, we put out a beer and some carrots. Father Christmas came and left a load of presents (don't tell the kids but we were even going to go into Richmond Park and collect some deer poo from the park- to make it more authentic...) . In the morning we went & picked up Uncle Paul & his girl Sharon from their posh hotel and we all began the joyous opening of gifts. We were all very pleased and surprised at the generosity of Father Christmas this year. The boys in the family got a playstation 2, the little boys got a remote control car each and then they got a load of games and videos. Jeff got some nice new shoes and some socks and he kindly gave us adults a day at a wind tunnel - we get to skydive without jumping out of a plane and not in the sky! Can't wait!! So it was a fun morning and it wasn't long until the Champagne hit those empty stomachs, but we soon filled them up with a delish breakfast before heading off the the Richmond Hill Hotel for a very trad English Christmas dinner. We'd have enough by the 2nd course and there were still 4 courses to go!! uggh. A great day was had by all.
