Pandora

My beautiful lovely best ever bracelet from Murray for Christmas. And although she doesn't know it yet, Grandma bought me some beads. Let the collection begin!

Food Glorious Food

Traditional Cusack Blessing (from Irish beginnings I believe)...

Here's to you and here's to me,
And should we ever disagree,
Bugger you and here's to me!

Can you believe that Murray is snoozing BEFORE lunch?!

Mum with Nanna's special apron and her beautiful Christmas Table.

Mary (Murray's Mum) helping in the kitchen.

No Christmas lunch would be complete without the daggy paper hats from the bon bons!

Mary is doubling up on the dagginess this year with both a paper bonbon hat and reindeer ears!

Christmas at the Arboits (Murray's family) - much bigger and much louder than my family!

A very Aussie Christmas Lobster!

Christmas... the spirit of receiving!

Santa clearly overlooked that we all belonged on the naughty list this year and visited everyone with lots of presents. Mum broke tradition and didn't open her pressies in pajamas!

No eggs will ever be the same again now unless they come in a Mickey Mouse shape.

Molly and her Disneyland tshirt.

A very sporty Jeremy with a Boston Redsocks beanie, Lethbridge Huricanes cap, and a Boston Bruins puck.

Superman, aka Murray, with his Oilers Tshirt and brand new jocks! (after all, can't be christmas without socks and jocks!)

Christmas Lights

What would Christmas be without going for a drive on a warm summer evening to look at the local Christmas lights (totally classy I know). But its one of my favourite things to do. So here are some of the lights from good ol' suburban Nazza Wazza!

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

La Arcada was turned into a Christmas Village tonight. Carolers, Christmas cookies, Lights, and of course, the Man himself - Santa!

A very retail Christmas

They certainly know how to do a great Christmas here thats for sure. All the shops are just lit up beautifully.

We headed out for a bit of a walk last night and I am just in love with the Christmas windows that they do.

This is the tree in Union Square, just next to where I am staying.

Saks Fifth Avenue done up in all its glory. Haven't had a chance to actually check out the inside yet, but I thought the windows looked great.

And Macys - this was my fav.
