My cousin Mike's wife died and we attended the funeral at Countersthorpe. This is the third member of the same family in as many months, not a good time, but at least they are at peace.
It is always nice meeting up with relatives but I do wish is could be at a happier time.
Chris and I attended the 'carols by torch light' service at church, always a lovely start to the Christmas festivities, and to remember why we celebrate.
Christmas Day was spent at Richard's with the family and his in-laws. I had arranged a number of games with lots of prizes that seem to go down well.

| I ordered a cake from Lisa, well actually 12 cupcakes in the shape of a tree complete with little gingerbread men to complete the decoration before eating. It was a real Hit with everyone, even though we all ended up with green tongues and mouths! |

| Chris dressed in festive mood, not sure that is the way to wear a tie! |

| The only photo I seem to have taken on the actual day, guess we were all having too good a time. |
On the 28th the family came to us for the evening and again games were played before and after the meal. Including a new game I received for Christmas called Globe Runner. We all decided we need to brush up on our geography, as it is a game of travelling around the world answering questions.
The 29th Dorn and Bill came for the evening and after dinner we played Rummikub, we have played this so often I am surprised the numbers have not been worn off.
Finally New Years Eve and we spent it alone while the fireworks all around us lit the sky.
