Christmas day started with us all opening presents that were under the tree, just like old times. It was nice to be with the family again, the last time we were together for Christmas must have been around 11 years ago.
The main activity for the day was to go to Ken and Jeanettes place in Gympie for lunch. Every family had to bring food and this was all put together to share amongst the 34 people going for lunch.
Before this we headed to see Jacqui and Jacques property up in Gympie. They have bought a 3 acres plot of land up there and plan to build on it in a few years.
Lunch was great, and having everyone together was quite chaotic at times.
After lunch, a toast was offered to the newest member of the family, which was Rob, and after this he offered a toast to someone else. By the time it was all over, every person had received and offered a toast. It was quite unexpected, but was really great and I think it is going to be continued in the following years.

We also played the game “Secret Santa” otherwise known as “Dirty Santa”, where everone brings a gift ($10) and puts it into a pile, you can choose a gift and then steal someone else’s if you don’t like your own. It was great fun, and we ended up with a Texas Holdem Poker set.
