Christmas#2

Well I decided to do another post, I am really bored and got some new ideas so....

This year for Christmas we are going to stay at home! But towards the end of the holidays my grandparents are coming from South Africa to visit us! It would be the second time they are coming and we are all really excited.

Well back to the topic, Christmas. Christmas Eve we will be going to midnight mass and then after that we open up presents from the family and then the next morning we open up our presents from "Santa". We have a big breakfast and then we are going to meet up with three other families and have a huge lunch!

In South Africa Christmas is really big, the beach and waterfront gets decorated in light and many houses decorate their house with lights too. Every year on the 16th of December my uncle would host a Christmas party for a couple orphanages in East London. The whole family and the kids would all go to his house and have a massive braai (BBQ) and swim; after that we would settle down play some games and then open presents from Santa and once it got dark we would go around the city on the search for lights. There would be this really nice guy who would let us into his house and look at all the decorations and his lights around the house. On Christmas Eve the whole family my close family of 48 would attend midnight mass, then after an hour or two of church and carols we would go to one of the family members house. We would all eat and open presents from the family, my older cousin and I would present the presents to the other family members. After that we would all go home and then the next day go to a different house for lunch. Everyone would bring heaps of food and then we would all eat and play for the rest of the day. I have many more memories about South Africa Christmas was really fun!

Seeing that this will be my last post Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR CHRISTMAS??
