Neil, myself, and Dad sit enjoying Christmas Eve in Aberdeen. It is tradition in the Adam family to go and get a real tree each year. Thankfully we didn't have to cut the tree down, but simply had to pick one, take it home and decorate it. With so many folks all in one house, the stack of presents tends to get a little overwhelming. The Adam family have the youngest members distribute the presents and then each family member opens them in chronological order (oldest to youngest). It was a fun time.
Since Sarah and Martin also see Martin's family on Christmas, and since we were leaving on boxing day (26th Dec) to go to SLC, we had Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve. It actually made a nice change to the usual chaos of Christmas day lunch in Aberdeen, which involves mum spending much of the morning in the kitchen. We had a starter of smoked mackerel pate and melba toast, and melon balls for those not fish inclined. Roast turkey was the main, and there were a variety of desserts.
