When I became an adult in the 90s
I remember having a big party on the evening of Christmas Eve, when I had foxtel I used to get into the Christmas spirit by watching muppet family Christmas from 1987 and usually took 45 minutes and then when that was finished I sat outside to wait for dad to start the bbq to get it ready for our visitors to come for dinner and present opening and each year we used to have different foods on the bbq and mum made these delicious salads to have with them after her storytelling session at the church and when she got home it was before the visitors because they were usually late but when they eventually arrived we all sat down to eat talking about how our year went and dad got out this new wine for parents because I drank too much and then when dinner was made mum got out the pavlova and trifle and we all ate it up and then we opened presents and talked to each other and I needed a break because of my anxiety and I put on the carols by candlelight from Melbourne and dad used to comment how annoying the kids music was with the teenage girls who were there, and then they went into the other room to show everyone their new games or new music computer programs
And every year dad was excited about showing them and then at 11-00 the guests left and mum went to Christmas mass I didn’t go cause I am a Buddhist
It was a great Christmas with family
