We had Christmas on 21 December this year - number two had to work so came up for the week before, we had our Christmas Day and now he's gone back. To hopefully an actual christmas day with friends, but I don't think he is too bothered. And neither are we! Having christmas early is amazing, we are having an extended five day boxing day with nowhere to go and nothing to do or buy. I went for a long walk this morning, my husband is mowing the lawn, and at 3 we are going to see the Feared and Revered exhibition at the National Museum. It is probably not going to be crowded but you never know - people go to museums on christmas eve?
Our christmas day was very normal, had a big breakfast, exchanged presents, scallops for lunch, attempted Trivial Pursuit 2010-20 edition (so obscure, number two won EASILY), home-made dinner for pizza and general relaxing. It was lovely to see the younger one again, so many stories about his university and Melbourne antics! Even the censored-for-mum versions were entertaining.
And number one has also moved out! Found a new-ish townhouse fifty metres from the tram stop on the other side of town with three bedrooms for the three of them ... so much excitement. We went to IKEA yesterday as part of the christmas present :) they have actually done quite well with free furniture but needed some shelves, a desk, doormats, dish rack ... Literally hours of fun, but 2023 might be a bit different round here.
