In our hotel in Hobart, about 1am, Ruby was whispering Clem wake up it’s Christmas. I whispered back to Ruby to go back to sleep. I was hoping that we were away from home we would still have a good Christmas.
Mum and Dad eventually woke up at 6:30am and Ruby and I went to look at the presents under our small, chocolate tree. We had made this tree the night before by tying ribbon to a little Cadbury chocolates and hanging them. Mum really liked the Cherry Ripes and stole a few. I enjoyed all the different flavours and by Christmas night all of them had been eaten.
Opening up my presents was exciting and I received Angry Birds board game, I Tunes voucher, Mario Kart 7 and some money. Ruby was thrilled with her I-pod touch4, mum liked her Jamie Oliver Cook book and C.D. Dad liked his wallet, fish rod and Lindt chocolates.
After we opened our presents we went to the breakfast buffet at the hotel. Our family drove to church shortly after. The service was funny as some of the children got to say what they got for Christmas. I was glad we visited that church.
In the afternoon we found a great park with BBQ’s that overlooked the beach. We cooked 4 big pieces of fresh salmon, a kilo of prawns, 20 scallops and garlic bread. Our family had so much food that we didn’t have enough room for our Creme caramels, juicy cherries or the cheese. The seagulls had a gourmet feast for Christmas also!
The rest of the day was spent walking along the shore looking at sea squirts. Mum thought they were like pimples and couldn’t resist touching them to see the water come out. She thought they were gross. There were lots of oysters on the rocks but they would give you food poisoning as the tide was out and they were baking in the sun.
I was really happy that we had a good Christmas away from home and that was the only thing that mattered.
