I finished my Granddaughters' Christmas ornaments
just two days before Christmas. PHEW!
They are recycled lightbulbs.

Regular readers will know that my son, Bradley, and I
joined the Mater 'Sing for Health' Choir back in 2014.
We come together for six weeks, twice a year,
and practise for our main performance
in the Mater Mothers' Hospital Foyer.
For our Christmas carols this year,
we had SIX performances all up.
Two performances on the 14th

Bradley and I had so much fun
and it is always a pleasure to sing
with such a great bunch of people.
Our choirmaster, Ruani, is simply the best!
Her choir assistant, Mairead,
helps us Alto's stay on track with our harmony.
Mary, Brad's Occupational Therapist, is
the one who started the choir.
We are very grateful to her for inviting us to join.

On Christmas morning,
Bradley, Aaron, and I went to
Michelle's (daughter) and Alex's place.
My granddaughters were so excited
that Santa had visited them. hehe
We had a yummy brunch there.
I made my own style of baked beans
and also took along some
Linda McCartney sausages
to fry up for us vegans.
We had a lovely time!
For Christmas dinner, I made a vegan roast
and roasted veggies, drizzled with mint sauce,
and vegan stuffing.
It was so yummy!

For Christmas dessert, I made a parfait style of vegan mango 'cheesecake',
with fresh mango puree and loosely crumbled gingernut biscuits.
I didn't have proper parfait glasses so settled for some regular glasses.
It tasted divine!
Even Aaron enjoyed his and he isn't vegan.
All in all, we had a beautiful Christmas!
***********************************************
It is now Boxing Day afternoon here in Australia.
I steered clear of the stores today
with the Boxing Day Sales on.
Businesses were expecting huge crowds.
I hope you all had an amazing Christmas!
Enjoy the holiday season and stay safe.
Love, light, and peace to all.
