Thursday was the home group Christmas do, our theme for the was Carols, Cake and Candles. As host I dutifully provided the candles and some carols to listen too, I also provided some Christmas crackers as table decorations and too pull. Much to my amazement Ibrahim (Egypt), Svetlana and Moussa (Russia) and Donna (Philipines) didn’t know about them and the Brits had to explain about the hat, motto and present. I looked on the internet and it does appear they are a mainly British tradition.
Much to my surprise only Margret brought cake, usually we are overwhelmed with cake and have to hand out doggy bags to people as they leave. This time all we had left were Donna’s Christmas biscuits and some sachet’s of hot chocolate to give as a parting gift.
For those of you with Facebook Ibrahim has lost of pictures, my favourite was of him using his phone to take one of himself in his his hat!
Geoff has finished school so is going back to the UK for 2 days to pick up our Christmas presents. At least on St. Helena we could rely on Amazon! Maddy and I finish on the 20th. Our Christmas plans are not finalised yet but we will go to Rocio’s on Christmas Eve and have invited Svetlana and her son Moussa for Christmas lunch after that who knows!
