first christmas




So I'm thinking this must be my first Christmas. For a lot of years - we always had Christmas with my Dad's family. This is underneath Nanna and Grandad's house at Taringa. We always - still to this day - wear the hats out of the bon-bons. Nanna and Grandad's house was fun - well as long as we didn't hassle nanna for stuff ( remember mum and dad's instructions). They had a big goldfish pond, a macadamia tree that you used grandad's built in bench vice to crack open, and a game of coits(?) that was attached to the wall. These things kept us kids occupied for ages and ages and ages. WE stopped having Christmas here when everyone got older and started having their own kids - sometimes Christmas can be tooooooo big. Also I am pretty sure that is my mum in the background - I've seen that dress before.

I agree that you MUST wear the Christmas hat...I think we are both agreed that anyone who refuses to wear the party hat spoils the fun.

We used to play quoits all the time at my grandparents house - love the game.
