Well Christmas eve and day were very relaxing. I had no kids with me so it didn't feel like Christmas. James kids don't celebrate so it was easy. We just enjoyed the holiday. It was really hot but we had the spas and pools at the resort plus for the hottest part of the day the rooms were air conditioned and we had some movies so it was living in luxury. I'm back home now sweating, and it's only morning so now need to get used to it. lol

On Boxing day I was at my mum's house. The kids came down on the train about lunch time. It worked out well. Wehad cold meats and salads for lunch and dinner. Mum has air conditioner too so we stayed inside til 5.30 then took the kids down the beach to play basketball and Mark and I swam. We swam out to the jump board. It was so nice. Mark seemed to stay in forever though. So we got home fairly late last night but it was a great Christmas and there are still more holidays to come. My brothers didn't get down so we are actually going back to my mums on Sunday for a bar-b with my brothers. Oh and mum gave my kids $50 each which they were happy about.
