Familys always do Christmas in slightly different ways. They have their own traditions and share the same in- jokes and histories, and that fact in turn often proves to be the cement that actually makes Christmas the most "loved" of celebrations for most people.Today I have missed my own traditions and in-jokes especially with sisters Ann and Janet, but I have had a nice Broadstairs time with the Burtons and the Brownings!
The meal was outstanding, the company relaxed and happy and we even had Gethin prancing around in the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special!
Got home at 10.30 and watched some of the awful Love Actually (2003) ...I did love Emma Thompson's bitter sweet performance as a wife scorned though! .....very VERY moving!
Happy Christmas Everyone xx Hope you all had a good one
Love Actually's predominant failing was Hugh Grant as an utterly unbelievable PM and the fact the film centred around him.
ReplyDeleteI found the all other characterisations endearing, and believeable in their own ways - Laura Linney and "Carl", Keira Knighley amidst her 'love triangle', Emma Thompson and husband [vs. his work bird]etc etc..
