Hello! Remember me, and this place, on the strange internet machine, we meet again... why not go retro and blog about our Christmas rather than post a million photos to my Instagram stories? Yes? Good. Let's go. We had this Christmas Eve and morning with Matt's parents down by the sea - the money shot is always Christmas morning with littlies, let's face it, and we hadn't had a Christmas morning in Inverloch for a few years. The magic of Christmas Eve needs to be bottled: the anticipation, the carrots left out for the reindeer, the laying of the Santa sacks, the thrashing little bodies in beds too excited to sleep... I wish I were joking, but our darling two eldest children were up at 2.50am looking for Santa. ARGHHH!!! We managed to keep them in beds with further giggles and thrashing until about 6am when we discovered that St Nick had indeed popped by. Turns out the Steendam sisters were on the nice list after all. Cousins galore and delicious salads at ten paces are what ...
And so that was Christmas 2021…
