Our customary Christmas party was held as usual on Christmas eve. This year it was held in the condo (the house is not ready yet). Everyone arrived early this year. Why? Because there were several other units in the condo having a party and our guests also wanted to avoid the crowd heading out for Christmas celebrations.
So by 7.00pm everyone was here. Including our Christmas turkey that Uncle Sin Tien had brought along. Our guests were kept entertained with a movie and later some music while Ah Ma was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner. On top of the turkey there was roast chicken thigh, prawns, sausages and 2 salads. Everyone certainly enjoyed the dinner. It was delicious. Even you enjoyed yourself, sitting at the "children's table" with your 2 cousins, tucking in your dinner (sausages and chicken).
After dinner, we relaxed a while and then you kids picked your Christmas stockings. It was hung low enough so that you could take them yourselves. You were all excited when you discovered a stuffed toy, a handmade gingerbread man, smarties, candy cane and a boxed drink. Ah.. but that was not the end of it. You kiddies had to "work" for it. Yup, you had to give out the presents to the rest of our guests. Well, it was more like Anna che-che working (it's her 3rd year working! *grin*) while you and Abby were preoccupied with your toys in the Christmas stocking.
Everyone opened their presents and next was time for dessert. What was on the menu? Cake and ice-cream. Ah Ma had bought the famous chocolate mud cake from Sunflower while 5th Great-Grandaunt baked an apple cake. Uncle Sin Chuan brought with him Movenpick ice-cream. It was a wonderful party and I'm sure everyone had a wonderful time. I know you did. You got so many presents. I'm also sure that Abby had a wonderful time. She did not want to go home when everyone else left!
Here are the pictures. Daddy took quite a lot, so I put them in a slide:
