Christmas Holidays 2012

This year, the Christmas holiday period consisted of great deal of travelling in a short time. We awoke Christmas morning around 6am with 4 excited children desperately trying to pull there present full stockings upstairs to safety of there bedroom. After the frenzied ripping of wrapping paper and a breakfast consisted of the evil brown stuff (chocolate, for all those who do not know adult code for chocolate ), we ventured down to Hayling Island for 11am to have dinner with the Hammond mafia. Dinner consisted of Indian takeaway followed by gateau from a local bakery and nibbles from Iceland. The afternoon entertainment involved Wii Party, Karaoke and the Danish present game, where a pile of  mysterious presents were wrapped up and a dice was thrown.
1 = take a present from another person
5 = give a present to another person
6 = take another present from the pile
Game ends when last present is open. Presents have to be under 1 pound and range from 1 sock to a can of de-icer.

Traditional Christmas dinner  - Chicken Shaslik and Sag Panir

The party game that could end friendships and marriage.

Game recommended for any party.

After a good sleep at the local Premier Inn and good hearty breakfast we set of to Ely to see John & Laura. Apart from the rain the travelling was good. More presents were exchanged which then resulted in scooting in the rain and dodging flying nerf disks, which came from the toy gun to end any game of make believe soldier warfare. ( Sorry John you had to wrap the present up at some point )



After a dreadful M25 experience we arrived back in Weymouth and are enjoying the local landmarks on a morning walk with the dog.
