Christmas eve

As every other year our family comes together to celebrate Jesus' birth on Christmas-eve. The nativity scene has been set up with the annual addition of more angels. The Christmas-tree all done up. We are waiting for 16 people to arrive: our children and grandchildren and Amrit, our daughter in laws family visiting from Singapore. Vicki has been preparing enough food for at least 50 people, just hoping that everyone is very hungry.
After the meal it is present giving time. The adults do the kris kringel way of giving but the children will get something from each family, it took appr. 2 hours to unwrap all the presents from under the Christmas-tree.
All the presents are unwrapped seperately and here is Kiran the centre of attention watched by Anjali her sister, Tim her dad and cousin Rachel.
Among the presents were also some new outfits, which had to be modelled, of course.
We all had a lovely evening and at the end of it we had enough food left to feed another 20 people at least.
