One from my wonderful girlfriend Laura, a story of how we arrived at Christmas day that spans nearly 3 years, 22 pages, with still much more to be added as we go.
The second was from her Nan who recited a poem for me on Christmas morning.
So we welcome Justin for Christmas
From that Aussie country way down under
If he think we are having cold turkey & salad
Then he is making a terrible blunder.
For her we have hot turkey & pudding
We need all the warmth for our tummy
But even he must surely admit
Hot mince pied covered in cream are yummy
He can drink some lovely mulled wine
Or if he prefers a cold beer.
A few nice chocolates & some nuts
Will be eaten by all of us here
If Alf hasn't chewed all the presents
That are piled up under the tree
Don't know what Santa has brought him
But there might be one there from me.
Now I don't know what he does in Australia
But here we play sports quizzes & games
And I bags he will be on my side
For he must know all the footballers names.
I do hope you enjoy your Christmas
For we Thame folk are glad you are here
So it just remains for me to wish you
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.
Thank you very much to Nan and the Anderson Family, especially the beautiful Laura.

That's awesome. Just goes to show that it really is the thought that counts. Making gifts means so much more.
I made the BBQ shapes and Tim Tams - I promise!!!
