A riotous family xmas eve. Children dressed as fairies and pirates (think I missed that bit of the Christmas story) getting stuck underfoot while the adults prepared a feast and the younger adults hung around semi clad, nipple rings on full display, and threw themselves off the deck into the river.
After the food, we graduated again towards the water, despite the epic thunder and lightning storm. Sitting/floating over the impromptu beach singing carols and marvelling at the discovery that wineglasses float. Neighbours put in requests. We responded with a spectacular lack of talent, especially for lyrics.
Everyone gathered to see Santa arrive in his boat bringing presrnts for the kids. Certain people were rather more excited by the firemans boat and its powerful hose. The annual festive flash ensued.
So, with the announcements of a proposal and a pregnancy (not the same couple...) in the same day it was a pretty awesome christmas eve. Not even ruined by the neighbours dog breaking in and peeing on the presents...
