We held our family Christmas meal on Christmas Eve, as is our annual tradition here. I spent most of the day in the kitchen, working on the stuffing and the chicken, roasting potatoes and other vegetables. We had a lovely meal followed by Christmas pudding, mince pies and brandy butter.
After the meal, we spent time doing a puzzle, playing games, and watching some of the BBC
Chronicles of Narnia series, based on the books by C. S. Lewis. Watching the BBC
Narnia series during the school holidays was always a family tradition of ours back in Cape Town. It was a fun evening spent together as a family. :)
