We had a glorious Christmas! It began, as these festivities often do, with a Kikoy Can-Can.
We were fortunate to be with our dear friends Lizzie and Ali, Lizzie's mum Margaret, and Hans and Christa. Champagne corks were popped, thoughtful gifts were exchanged, we ate like kings and queens from a table groaning with goose and other delicacies.
We drank a special wine Hans makes only for the Friends of Bourdic, not sold to the public. There was Christmas pudding, Christmas cake and Christa's yummy Christmas cookies. I was sure to need the Christmas crane to lift me out of there. We tried our best to guess the punchlines to the lame jokes that pop out of Christmas crackers, and we (well, I) massacred the sing-a-long to the Sound of Music. (It was only the Mary Martin Broadway version, so no apologies required Dame Julie).
By the end of it, we were happy as punch and grateful to have such wonderful friends, if not a little tuckered out. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
