Christmas sparkles

There were 15 of us gathered for Christmas Day:

Household 1: Mr hazelh's sister number 2, brother-in-law, and niece Miss F (our hosts)

Household 2: Mr hazelh's sister number 1, brother-in-law, niece B and nephew P

Household 3: Mr hazelh's (half) sister number 3 and brother-in-law

Household 4: Mr hazelh's mother and stepfather

Household 5: Mr hazelh's father and stepmother

Household 6: the two of us

This is the first time since 1974 that Mr hazelh and sisters 1 and 2 have spent Christmas Day with their parents. It has been an *amazing* day.

As you can see, we had sparklers at lunch.
