Christmas time was always a big family get together for both sides of the family. The Cornthwaite's was always a big occasion with Dad's sisters and the their family's and Uncle Scott and his. We always has a Santa too. The big question for us kids was to guess who it was that year first!
Auntie Wendy's was a great food extravaganza as usual dinner things were with her, endless nibbles and quite often not getting to eat the main meal until very late and dessert was invariably after midnight! I remember one year my cousins tricked me into green olives saying they were nicer than the black ones, oh no, they weren't!! However, I do like olives now. I also remember at their house reading the boys Tin Tin and Astrix books in french (well, pretending that I could!)
