An exhausting Christmas Day

Once again it was Christmas Day. A day of festive tradition, family gatherings and stuffing yourself silly! After a much needed relaxing day Christmas Eve, Yesterday was the complete opposite. Exhaustion, very mild stress and a household filled with adults can be far too much on a regular basis. Christmas however, is the one exception.

The tree was in full decoration and the ocean of presents dominated the spectacular view.

By late morning, the food preparation was well underway and for the first time, we bought chestnuts for the most festive sprout recipe I have ever seen.

Whilst the food was cooking, I indulged myself in the unlimited supply of chocolate...

Drank wine...

And made a new sloth friend.

A spectacular table was set. Far too much food but surprisingly, all was eaten!

And wow was I full after!

Of course, Christmas isn't all about the presents, decorations and food. It is however, about family and reliving old traditions and creating new ones to cherish.
