Christmas Day at the Strouds:

Christmas morning and Timothy comes storming in to the bedroom. I felt like it was a raid by the Spanish Inquisition.

I recovered and eventually got up.

After a quick breakfast it was present opening time

Box hugging time

Amazing really how easily pleased some people are. this was an empty box. I was not going to camp outside Best Buy overnight thus Tim will not get his Wii until some time in Jan.
It was kind of the store to let us have the display box anyhow.

Traditional English Christmas meal. Turkey and all the trimmings but somehow the sprouts got left in the fridge. oh well.

The participants eating the food was just Hazel, Tim, Jon, and I However, this is a technological age and we were joined by Mum, Helen, Mick, Ian, Paul and Dora all in the UK.

We shared our meal and some considerable time with them by way of webcam.

was a good laugh.

Was the best part of the day sharing Christmas.

After lunch everyone went to their own rooms and played DVD's TV games ready slept and recovered from too much food.

Sometimes Christmas never changes.
