This year, Christmas broke the usual tradition of waking up at my sister’s place, presents and then lunch, followed by a trip to Edinburgh Zoo. This year, I did things differently. 

Lesley and Euan went down to York this year to spend Christmas with Euan’s family, so I spent Christmas this year with Bryan’s family. For the first time ever, I managed to wake up with my beloved boyfriend on Christmas Day… something I’ve always wanted to do! We got up, had some tea to wake up… and then opened a few presents before going around to Bryan’s Fathers house when his Father and Norah had prepared a lovely brunch of bacon / sausage / egg rolls and tea! After lounging around for a bit, we headed back to Gillian’s place and then Bryan and I went to Edinburgh Zoo for a Christmas wonder… 

All the animals were in really good favour this visit, including our favourite, the Tapir… who was out in his little paddock squelching about in the mud! The Penguins were also in good form, with most of the family in the water swimming about furiously while children stood on the bridge in awe of their speed and acrobatic ability!

After the zoo, we returned to Gillian’s house where she was preparing a fabulous dinner of Broccoli & Stilton soup… followed by a Haggis, Neeps and Tatties special! It was lovely! Unfortunately, Gillian had to rush her meal because she had to get to work for 6pm (she’s a fire fighting professional).

The rest of the evening was spent in front of the tele… which is my ideal Christmas evening!

There are pictures from the day available on my Flickr page… which you can see by clicking on the picture below:
