Our usual Christmas tree hunt was almost a disaster this year as they were very popular & by the time we got there, there weren't very many left. But eventually we found one & were able to hop back into our cars & head back home to thaw out.

Christmas 2010
Running a bit behind as usual, but thought I would still give a little comment on how we celebrated Christmas this year.
It was the big Nygaard family Christmas this year, so with a few extra ring ins we were 20 gathered at Tom's parents. As usual the day started with us all gathering for breakfast. Then in anticipation of everyone having HUGE appetites, Bo had ordered a 16kg turkey, which due to the extreme cold weather over night was still as frozen as when he had put it in the garage the night before to thaw. So it was prepared & put in the oven straight after breakfast so it would be ready by dinner.

To go with the turkey for dinner we had Ris alamanda (in which Tom found the almond for the second year running), followed by turkey, brown potatos,salad, boiled potatoes & gravy. Then it was time to work off all the Christmas eating by dancing round the Christmas tree, before opening our presents & off to bed.
