The Tree
In the lead-up to Christmas, we watched my childhood favorite: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Stop animation and everything, it's still a winner.
Santa laid out Nick's (rather camp) stocking. It contained all sorts of goodies, a homemade crossword puzzle, a CD, cufflinks, and this cuddly bath bear.
Nick's puzzle has clues relating to our holidays and adventures.
Opening stockings is always so much fun!

One of Nick's gifts was this kite, which we flew on Bournemouth beach on Christmas morning.

It was easy to control the kite with 2 strings
Even on a grey day, a kite can be fun.
