It really cannot be denied. There is something quite inexplicably magical about christmas. The tree, the pudding, the presents, the food, the family gathered together, the sea of wrapping paper, the laughter, the cuddles with little cousins, the carols, tra-la-laing in the distance. I love Christmas, really I do. It's that childish joy of waking up in the morning to find a stocking bulging to the brim with things that have magically come from nowhere. That excitement and happiness and joy will always be associated with Christmas. So much so that, even though it is the day after my birthday, I still get a huge smile on my face just thinking about it. And now's here. It's a classic Australian christmas today - it's boiling hot outside and sitting in our fridge is a huge tray of prawns just waiting for the hoards to descend upon them and we're headed off to my godmother's, whose sapphire blue pool is screaming out for us to dive in. Whether you're about to tuck into seafood and pavlova and all things antipodean, or if you're snuggling up with chestnuts roasting on an open fire (!! do people actually even do that?), I want to send you good tidings of comfort and joy. I hope you got everything you could wish for - and some that you didn't even know you wanted. And I hope you have one of those classic christmas days where you eat too much, you sing too loud, you laugh too hard and you just generally have too much fun.
The merriest of christmases to you all!
