On the 23rd of December Christmas started for real! I went to craft club in the morning. The previous week we had had a fuddle/faith lunch/add whatever you call it and we often don't meet the week of Christmas itself, but a few people said they would still be there, so we had a meeting anyway. I went. I am working on a big cross stitch at the moment and have been doing it for months... it's big!
In the afternoon Lee and I did some tidying up and got ready for family to come later. My aunt, uncle, and youngest cousin Peter were coming up to Yorkshire for Christmas. My aunt and uncle were staying at my mum's and Peter was staying with us! But they all wanted to come and meet our new cats, so we arranged to have tea at ours that day.
Everyone arrived about 5pm, I'm guessing. Lee and I made roast chicken for the meat eaters and veggie sausages for me, along with bread and roast potatoes and lashings of gravy. I had got a Christmas cake from work so I had that out for pudding and probably something else too as Lee doesn't like Christmas cake. My uncle and I ate ours with Wensleydale cheese which is a very Yorkshire thing to do, I love it!
We played some games and just generally chatted and had a nice time. My mum and stepdad and aunt and uncle left at some point and it was eventually time for bed! I was wearing a tartan skirt that my mum made for me years ago but which I don't wear often - I really should! On top I was wearing a silver sparkly top that I have also had a while but which was tucked away in the wardrobe and had been forgotten about!
Katniss wouldn't come down to meet anyone, as she's still quite shy around anyone except Lee and me, but Kiki loves all strangers so she came down for fussing. Poppy loves people so she was around too.
