Choc chip cookies and a glass of milk are left out for Santa. Yes Santa is VERY generous in our household, or maybe our teenage girls haven't grown up yet. Christmas morning, we are awoken to our offspring opening their presents from Santa. When we are all fully awake, we head out to the Christmas Tree and open the family presents. We have our main Christmas meal at lunch time, and the kid's grandpa visits us for this.
Turkey is served cold as are all the other meats mentioned.
However, sticking to tradition, we always have hot vegetables and gravy accompanying the meal. Another year, was chilly and there was actually snow in the alps on Boxing Day. It was the only time I had ever heard of it snowing in Victoria at Christmas time. With the climate, it didn't settle though. The afternoon is usually spent, playing with our gifts,putting batteries in toys and feeling quite lethargic after a huge and wonderful meal.
