Christmas Day

As determined by our boss, Danica, we were over to theirs by 8am, and soon were all seated to begin to work through the haul. We began with the overstuffed and overflowing stockings, working through them methodically by going around the circle again and again until the bottoms were reached. Of course, I snapped some pictures throughout the procedure through both the stockings and subsequent parcels.

We hadn’t got too far with the stockings when I noticed that overcast and blustery day had lit up. I thought it quite appropriate that the sun came out to shine a little Christmas slight.

I sat more or less opposite JJ, so I managed to get a few photos of the boy. You saw him exuberant yesterday, I think over his Skittle dispenser (another of those below). He was also very pleased with his Swiss Army knife. I think it is nice for a man to have one of those, so that was from Sue and me.

Sue sat beside Jonathan and quite enjoyed his happiness.

Danica was beside me and somewhat behind. I managed to capture her with the rear-facing, selfie camera. I think Sue snapped the one of her hugging her gifts, but it could have been mine. 

Shauna sat to my right and somewhat behind my main line of sight.

Sabine just about stole the show, but for now I will content myself by posting just one cat photo. Once there was space at the bottom of the tree, she found a spot to chill. I crouched my old body down and snapped a nice candid cat portrait. That seemed like a fitting end to the unwrapping, and it I think it ends this post well too.

=============================

Uh oh. Unfortunately, we're within the yellow circle (my addition). Ice Storms are to be feared. Fingers crossed.
