Ours was a quiet and simple Christmas this year. We attended Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey on Christmas Eve. The Westminster Choir was absolutely amazing and well worth standing in the queue for an hour or so. We were able to get a seat and the service was quite nice.
We then ventured over to Gerrard Street for a Chinese dinner. Our own little tribute to the television marathon of “The Christmas Story” going on back in the States!
On Christmas Day, I actually prepared (yes cooked – not just assembled!) a meal in my tiny little kitchen. Ray and I enjoyed turkey and dressing and a day full of DVDs, reading and jigsaw puzzles. We spoke to the family several times and missed the annual traditions, but it was fine. This is likely our last Christmas in London and it was good to see the culture and traditions from a different perspective.
Doug and Steph arrive later this week for a short visit during semester break. As always, we are looking forward to family time and a few laughs!
