Jane and I invite family,strays and waifs we know to a brilliant dinner.

We don't like knowing there are single people out there on Xmas day not getting to be part of a drunken and debauched turkey eating, booze guzzling, singing and cracker pulling social occassion.

It's a pity Matt will not be able to come from Table View to be with me but I daresay the sun and beaches have a lot to do with not wanting to be here. Maybe next year hey?!

Tineke and I have invited my mother and her husband on Christmas day. No braai or beach....to cold in Holland but chicken in the oven and roasted potatoes will do. In the morning we will go to church.
