Little Cozy Corner

Today is Christmas. How time flies and it was only months ago when Ted and I were talking about how exciting it’s going to be to finally be able to celebrate Christmas together after all these years. And finally, the day has arrived and what a wonderful day it has been!

The morning started off a little dull but it soon bringhtened up as it was present opening time!! I must have been a really, really gooooooooooooooooood girl  coz I got a pressie from Ted and a sack full of goodies from Santa.

See my huge Santa bag??

Inside was a whole load of goodies!!! :dancing:

I bought Ted 3 DVDs, all of which he liked - thank God! I got him the original Mad Max, Enemy At The Gates and a double DVD of Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy. Then it was time to get ready for lunch at my in-laws.

What a surprise I got when we reached there!! MIL had certainly kept herself busy with the wide spread of food!! I respect to the lady of the house…that woman can cook!!! :drool:

The setting……

The food!! :drool: :drool: We had ham [sorry about the non-halal item], turkey, potato salad, rice salad, bread, tabuli [a Lebanese salad which is somewhat similar to our kerabu], hummus and of course, beetroot.

It was quite a spread and I must say that I’m totally impressed. We were done by 1.30pm and we hung around until tea time and then the plum pudding was brought out. :drool:

OOoooo….this is best eaten with cream. But I was such a pig that I had to it with both ice cream AND cream. Now I know that cream is a better choice or least my preference. It was the first time I ever ate pudding with ice cream or cream. I normally have my Mum’s special fruit cake on its own which I totally adore. The difference is pudding is steamed and fruitcakes are baked. In any case, I love ‘em both! :drool:

The other foiled cake tin contains my brother in law, Bill’s favourite cake - cheese cake. I hope there’s still some for me left tomorrow!!

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! And if you don’t celebrate Christmas, happy holidays!
