Christmas 2009 came and went. Being preoccupied with the boys made us wonder whether Christmas ever came at all! In the apartment, there were no decorations, no Christmas tree... only a few Christmas cards lay on the dining table.
We were all back in Menglembu in time for Christmas Eve dinner. It was nice to come home to see the whole family together. There was a Christmas tree in the living area next to the piano. For dinner, the main dish was a special deep-fried-and-stewed duck with pickled ginger... a recipe handed down from my paternal grandmother. So, of course it was delicious :o)!
