Your editor had an early family Christmas function on Sunday evening. It involved family on his wife’s side. With a German atmosphere, there were plenty of meat and alcohol to go around as well as many rich deserts.

The Great Aunt who is over from German was there, and lost her dentures half way through the night, which resulted in 40 plus people looking for them, all trying not to laugh for fear of been hit by this lovely – yet fiery – old lady.

Other highlights included people comparing battle wounds from a Thailand Trip, and a Kris Kringle that went for about 1 ½ hours.

I will say one thing, my wife does have an interesting family.

As the Kris Kringle dragged on, and as everything stopped while the Great Aunt slowly opened up her present. One bold person said.

‘Come on, I haven’t got that long…’ he then looked at the Great Aunt and said ‘and you have even less time!!!’ We were just glad he didn’t say it in German!!!

Cheers
