During the day we started a 1000 piece puzzle of the world. after about 11:45 we stopped so we could go to church but just before we gave Father Christmas a glass of milk with little glass of brandy and crunchy carrots for the reindeer. while we where in church i looked at the lovely magnificent decorations. at 1:00 we took the holy communion i kneeled down and prayed for the poor people with had not had what we have however we should also pray for the people that have died and that had suffered AMEN. about 1:15 me and my sister where so excited for what have Santa left us as i got home straight away i opened my presents from Santa i got  what i wanted bounce off and my sister got a cooking set. my mum and dad got me Nike air max after me and my dad stayed up doing the puzzle up till late although the puzzle was not finished.

CHRISTMAS DAY

On Christmas Day I got up at 11am.  For breakfast we had “carne vinho e alhos” which is a portuguese dish which we normally eat at Christmas. It is pork belly which has been soaked in wine, garlic and other herbs. It is delicious we have it with fresh warm baguette. We continued the puzzle and played bounce off while my mum cooked Christmas dinner. At 3pm my uncle and cousin Max arrived. They helped us to finish the puzzle. I put the last piece in. For dinner we had Roast turkey, with crispy roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, brussel sprouts, sausage wrapped with crispy bacon and yorkshire puddings. It was delicious! It is always. After dinner I asked my dad if we could do another puzzle and he said yes. I choose the coral reef one with very colourful fishes, this was also a 1000 piece puzzle. The children went to bed at 2am and my parents and uncle stayed up talking and finished the puzzle at 7am. I don’t know how they managed to stay awake till that time.

BOXING DAY

On boxing day we got up at about 11am, we had smoked salmon and toast for breakfast. We watched movies and played monopoly. We went for a drive in the evening and went to KFC for dinner.

Monday 28th December

Today mum had surprised us. She had bought tickets to watch the Cinderella pantomime at the Lyric Theater in Hammersmith. It was so much fun. We joined in, the ugly sisters were actually men dressed as women it was very funny. We also sang along and they sang many current songs and changed the words to fit the panto. For example Uptown Funk was changed to Panto funk. We had a great time, mum said next year we will go again to watch a Panto. They will be doing Aladdin in the Lyric theater. I can’t wait.

I also got a treat in the January sales I bought myself a Samsung tab 4 tablet with the money I got for Christmas. I had a great Christmas, spending time with my family and now look forward to getting back to school to see what my friends have been up to during the holidays.
