Well a Merry Christmas to one and all.
I’m so glad its over! 
Its always a work Christmas for me. Starts of with spring cleaning, then putting up The Tree, then moving furniture out of the way, put out chairs all waiting for the families to start popping by. For the last 3 years, we have been catering dinner. It used to be we actually cooked all of the food for about 30-40 people. No mean feat, especially while you’re cooking other friends will pop in and out throughout the day you’re cooking all the while expecting you to feed them while your cooking for the night. AND they will opportune to drop in between 12-2pm. Sometimes up to 4pm.
Don’t they realise we’re already working like mad dogs during the day? Sigh, so much for thinking of others over thinking of their tummies. Sigh! Well, now we cater, a lot less work, we even gave up doing the turkey! Woot! 6 hours of oven watching over!
What worst, is the 3 hours of washing and clearing after the party. Clean up usually takes up to 3-4am. Now with catering .. about midnight.
Now that my sister’s friends know that I can cook, they want me to cook for them for lunch.. No bloody way!!
Amazing, its no rest for the “wicked” coming boxing day. 10am.. first visitors arrive.. sigh..
Thank goodness only a handful, after that once again, moving furniture.
Its over! And so much left overs.. turkey, sausages, chicken curry, noodles, cake, prawns, leg of ham! Well, only good for my expanding waist line hahaha!
Interesting enough my neighbour came down for dinner. After talking for a while, a little high from the kirsch in the truffle (yum, sugie cake with kirsch poured over covered with rich sweetened cream and lots of fruits like strawberries, mangoes, peaches.), found out that the wife is also a sensitive like me. Heh.. he complains that she can always know what he’s thinking and can sometimes put thoughts in his mind. Ha! Wonderful, another person to chat about these stuff. Quite funny couple.
