We spent a quiet Christmas at home in Manguzi. I moved the wooden Xmas tree(pictured ) from outside to inside and we decorated it with shiny stuff. It is difficult to make a Xmas tree shine in the day in Kwa Zulu because of the immense sun- generated light compared to the cozyness/ darkness in Europe over the festive season. In Europe the lack of light allows for a bright Xmas tree.
The kids were awake before the crack of dawn and we were awake the night before until late watching a Cristian movie (I think called 'faith like potatoes'; which we really didn't enjoy but couldn't stop watching...)and wrapping presents. We were tired and I think I had a very sore ear(which went on for days unfortunately). This was due to excessive swimming and therefore an achievement in itself!
We had tea and Cristmas cake in the morning after the usual session of stockings and whats under the tree?

Ceri made the Christmas cake and Cecily made banana cake.
Eunace spent Christmas at home.
The unwrapping of presents was followed by a nice period where all the vegetables(brussels sprouts in UK) are peeled and there is plenty of activity in the kitchen. Ceri and Cecily were competing and twittering in the kitchen and the boys were playing with the new gifts.
