We enjoyed a beautiful display of coloured light as the sun came up on Christmas Day. Following our Christmas Eve turkey dinner with extended family, we relaxed with the other Grandma and Grandpa GeoK on Christmas Day - playing cards, visiting, baking a couple of kinds of cookies, listening to Christmas music and sharing memories …
