Christmas day

(Regular readers have noticed that the date is wrong on my blogs. Sorry about that - it is caused by me posting after 7pm here and the blog still running on GMT. However, despite what it says above, I can confirm that this was posted on Christmas Day.)

No early start today, and when we were finally all awake a little before nine, we were able to confirm that Santa had indeed made a visit in the night. By happy chance, he'd even managed to bring a few things that Jake had noticed in the shops at Downtown only a few days ago!

(Thanks for the Cadbury's and Thornton's supplies from home!)

In accordance with tradition (well, this year and last year anyway!) we sat down to a home-cooked brunch, and then spent much of the rest of the day at our resort. Jake and I went in the pool for a while, and we caught up with news from home on phone and FaceTime.

This afternoon we went over to the Grand Floridian, stopping off at the Oak Trail pro shop on the way, or at least that was the plan but it had already closed for the day. Will have to call them tomorrow and see if we can book a tee time at the end of the week.

We had a look around the Grand Floridian, and then enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner at Citricos. As is often the case at Disney restaurants, they saved the best until last, and the dessert - "Gingerbread Cheesecake and Chocolate Mouse Timbale Dressed in Holiday Style" was superb.

Off to bed soon - plans for an early start at Hollywood Studios in the morning.

Again, Merry Christmas everyone!!
