I'm back

Charlie, the Dick family's dog. Getting dressed up in the Christmas decorations.

Christmas pudding! Getting doused in brandy lit on fire.

So, I ended up burning through my allowed megabytes for the month of December with all my internet usage & uploads, costing me a hefty amount over my monthly bill. This is why it's been quiet on the blogging front up until now, once my new month started. Anyway, here's pictures of my Christmas with Katie & her family. Lots of sitting on the couch. Eating. Movies. Sambuca (no joke). Wii. And playing with Charlie, who loved me as much as I loved him! They are a lovely family & made me feel at home. Even bought me presents. It's official, they are my British mum, dad & sisters.

Now, the Christmas pudding issue. I tried 2 bites of it again this year. And, still, don't like it one bit. In fact, the Brits have to drown it in brandy & then cream to even eat it themselves. On the last day at their house, Katie's mum hit the Marks & Spencer's sale & came home with a big Christmas pudding.....for NEXT YEAR! The expiry date on these things are years! That right there confirms all my suspicions of this beloved dessert.
