I never ever thought I would be happy eating out on Christmas Day as I so enjoy cooking, but it can be soo tiring when you have so many to cook for, so the family suggested we all eat out at a restaurant .
At first I wasn't happy but thinking about it, it may be a great idea.
Our youngest daughter, partner and our youngest granddaughter Amelie of nearly 4 years will be staying the night with us, so I will have loads of precious time watching her and playing with her all morning before we go to the hotel where usually Christmas morning I'm up to my neck in cooking.
We will go back after our meal and have a good rest, then I can prepare the tea for all of those that will be coming.
Anyway, I deserve a break....after all it is my birthday on Christmas Day and that is the day I usually work the hardest
