Christmas was celebrated on the night of the 24th, starting dinner at 11pm with toasts and lots of fireworks at midnight. We also had our share in the noise and lights of the fireworks although I have never seen such craziness as our neighbours were doing… throwing huge fireworks balls onto the street when they were designed to be launched in a tube to great heights. Needless to say, their explosion on the street was massive and caused all of us considerable ringing in our ears.
Here are some photos to share our Christmas with you.
Every home needs a Christmas tree.
The whole family gathered to celebrate Christmas at midnight.
Making Christmas phone calls to everyone (oops. Where is Paul’s face?).
Playing with roman candles on the street.
It was hot, so we all hung out on the street until late.
