Well I survived the stress of Christmas and catering for 23 relatives for Christmas dinner and ended up enjoying the experience. It's always easier looking back than forward when faced with the prospect of feeding and entertaining 23 people!! Everyone seemed to have a good time. We had a lovely ham from the local butcher (see photo of Terry carving). My sister and husband brought a roasted turkey which went down a treat. Terry also barbecued chicken and sausages. We had lots of salads, vegetables, cakes, desserts which many guests brought along to contribute to the mountain of food - lots of good cooks in the family. We fit everyone in the garage for our meal and we were blessed with unusually cool weather for Brisbane's summer.
Terry and I had a very quiet New Year - early to bed. Now 2008 has begun and everything is back to normal.
