Our Christmas Festivities were centred around the Burrum Heads house but were a collection of special occasions as not all could be present at the one time because of other commitments. Christmas Day saw Nick and family present but they left on Boxing Day. Nephew Geoff and family were present Christmas afternoon and dinner and then headed home. Granddaughter Jess and family arrived the next day as did Mick's twin daughters for short visits meaning that Mick, Sue, Merv and Marg were there all the time. Sister Bev and husband Syd managed to be sick over Christmas so were confined to their house, |
