19.00 Children go to bed and adults watch one the the boys DVD's that they got for Christmas.
Now you could say that I would want the opposite of this as my perfect Christmas, but having thought about it, I wouldn't change it for the world. This is my imperfect family, but it is my perfect Christmas.
Merry Christmas! This post is my entry into the Tots100/Argos 12 Days of Christmas competition.
