christmas aftermath, picsorban

[Legolas]

he he he...

just reading about bdenny running away from the clean up brought back fond memories of the aftermath...my favourite (along with all the other parts) part of the day when my brother falls asleep at the table with his bon bon crown on his head, where you have to tip toe across the lounge room floor for fear of crushing something (or someone) under all the wrapping paper, where my mum and sister-in-law stagger around the kitchen filling up the dishwasher and telling each other how special they are (very very funny).

I thought we could have an aftermath pics thread...

see you back here after boxing day I guess?

Here's the aftermath.....one of my favourite Christmas things is bubble and squeek made with the leftover vegetables the next day. I've taken to doing it on the bar-b-q hot plate as my fry pan's just nowhere big enough.
