Jack and Sammy were up early as you would expect on Christmas Day. While Sam didn't really have a clue about what was happening, Jack knew all about it and was very excited. Last night we went to a Crossroads Christmas Party where we all had dinner together and sang some Christmas carols. At 9pm everybody exchanged gifts. Each person was asked to buy a gift worth $5 Hong Kong (about $1 Australian) for each member of the team (about 100 people). You could go in with others to combine your money and purchase a more expensive gift.
Both kids had lots of fun unwrapping all of their presents. Jack's favourite present was his digger truck set and Sammy is a big fan of a packet of cotton reels that somebody gave her. Dad's not such a fan! Al likes a pair of socks that she was given and I am keen to read a book I was given called 'The Purpose Driven Life'.
Jack and I are about to head into church while the girls have a sleep. After that we'll head in to Kowloon to find somewhere to have lunch. My usual Christmas highlight is heading off to Dural to have Christmas lunch with Allison's extended family. It has become a tradition that we really enjoy. I'm going to miss not being around family and fine food today.
