Christmas in NSW

Christmas has passed quickly, with the 4 days holiday we eat, chat, rest.
How are your christmas?
On the 24th, which was a very hot day, with hot wind blowing, temp around 38 degree. We went to China Town as tourist and had small boat congee and Yau cha gray. It has been a long time we had not have so local chinese food, so we enjoy much. In the evening, we went to church for party. Derek was in the drama as one of the wise men. He needed to sing too. Ha ha!
25th, the christmas day, morning in church. then we have lunch party in one of the friend's home, eating too much. Very sleepy , but we were not allow to go home yet since we have another BBQ in another friend's house in the evening. Aussi like BBQ very much, not the traditional way with char col. Use gas instead, so more like fried. They like to eat in their backyard, with drinks. Usually only one man is busy with cooking, others sit back & relax.
26th, we watched movie (Narnia) in the afternoon. The cinema was full of kids. Evening we went to another friends and enjoy Greek food. Jimmy is a European so he can cook very good European food. That night was really good, with wellcome drink, entree, main course, dessert, coffee...... Too full la! (you must think that we gain weight, of course la)
27th, we attended my colleague's son (8 months old) christening in a small Norway church. The ceremony is a bit different but still very warm and enjoyable. That night I grill a chicken (my first time), and share dinner with our neightbour( Ken/ Elaine), then we all went to see the christmas' s light decoration. The decoration is a bit different from HK, nto for business. They are done by the house owner, ususally the whole street will join for the decoration and make their street beacutiful. Then people search online to find the street, then everybody drove there and enjoy! This is a new experience.
4 days past, very busy though. Before I think we might just 2 of us celebrate and rest. But it turned out to have much people around us. This make this christmas special and enjoyable. Of course, all these not come without reasons. It is God who guide and enclose us with friends. We missed all of U in HK as I think we might have gathering either hot pot or bird game!
Anyway new year is coming, happy new year!
