Recuperating now that the festivities have died down...

The boys and I went to  
Michelle and Alex's house 
for a Christmas brunch. 
Alex's (son-in-law) family were there also
and it was lovely to catch up with them. 
It was a very hot and humid day
but it didn't spoil the fun and festivities. 

My Secret Santa turned out to be REECE! 
He gave me 'The Tournament' 
which is a new book by 
Matthew Reilly. 
AND the first season of 
Jamie Oliver's 30 minute Meals! 
I love Jamie Oliver!
I was thrilled with my gifts.
Thanks, Reece (No. 3 son)!

Then yesterday for Boxing Day 
we had my parents 
along with Michelle, Alex, and the girls 
at our house for a hot and cold lunch. 
Again, it was very hot and humid 
and I felt like I was in a sauna all day long. 
Despite the heat, everyone had a great time and the best part 
was that I got to spend even more time 
with my two gorgeous granddaughters.
I adore these little munchkins SO much!

Today, my body is screaming with pain 
which is normal after busy or festive days 
so I plan to put the feet up and rest. 
I may even start my new book.

My gardenia shrub is in full bloom now 
and the flowers are gorgeous! 
Their perfume is amazing!

What did you do for Christmas and/or Boxing Day?
Feel free to share in the Comments section.
If you don't celebrate Christmas
but enjoy the season in a another way
please feel free to share that too. 

I leave you with some wise words from Gandalf.
