Christmas 2009




We spent Christmas Day at home in Hobart. The usual early start, kids jumping in bed with the booty that Santa has left, followed by the opening of family gifts under the tree. Lunch was roast turkey and all the trimmings, a movie in the afternoon and a play with new toys down at Lansdowne Cres oval in the early evening.
We have taken some years to adjust to the feel of a Tassie Christmas, the balmy nights Queenslanders associate with the Christmas spirit, unfortunately, are few and far between down here. It has been out experience previously to even visit the snow on the lovely Mount Wellington Christmas Day. This year however, we have been privy to some amazing warm days and nights it is as if mother nature is rewarding us for staying south for Summer,and I am happy to say that it felt like Christmas this year, even for the warmblooded! I love this place!! Merry Christmas.

Oh... and I am happy to say we did finish that gingerbread house!!
