One small house, two days, 16 people, loads of presents, tons of food!

Looks as if everyone had a wonderful time, and that's more important than whether or not there was enough food or if everyone liked their gifts.

You are blessed, my friend.

Thank you all so much for your comments! I am blessed indeed!
Kila, we have things here called "Crackers", which two of you pull. When you do they make a 'bang' and inside is a hat, a joke on a card and a little gift.
You wear the hat, you read out the joke (which is always really lame!!) and you keep the gift.

BTW, what was in the gift you were holding up?

Did you all have Christmas Crackers? I wanted them too!! I went to Pier 1 where I bought them last year and they didn't have any!

What kind of dog is that?

Merritt Fields said...

We always do Crackers as well...they're getting more common over here.

Hello, dearest friends,
Just to answer the questions posed above:
The present was a double CD by Stevie Ray Vaughan, a brilliant Blues Guru. I love rock-blues and he is a master o that.
The dog, who is called Jamie, is a Soft-Coated-Wheaten-Terrier, a pedegree breed of which there are only 500 in the country.
Thanks for all your comments!
Erik
