We go to the beach after breakfast on Christmas Day, but it's summer here.
We bailed from the family dramas four years ago, now it's us and the kids, and we do whatever we want, everyone chooses some special food a couple of weeks out, and that's what we eat, so bagels for breakfast, BBQ for lunch, leftovers for dinner.
We often meet friends at the beach too, accidentally or by design for morning tea, it's very relaxing. Yet I know that most people find it odd that we are not driving all over the countryside, or spending the day with extended family. When I hear their stories of stress and hours of driving, I'm reminded of why I like our Christmas.
I do need to find a Christmas Eve movie though, that might be this year's addition :-)
