i'm not really too sure.

xmas eve is always something easy like, gammon eggs and chips / chilli etc. might tho go off to the beach and have a fish and chip supper if not too cold.

xmas day will start with hot pork rolls. and so will boxing day if my hubby has his way. ( which he will, cause i love him so much i just can't say no to him)

but apart from that i've not really given it that much thought.

whatever we eat or have tho it will be fantastic as i'll be with my wonderful husband and our 3 amazing children. i can't wait.
