Although we both had a restless night with the windy and blustery weather that managed to work its way around Killarney Point at times during the night, we still woke up full of the joys of Christmas,  A coffee and our favourite Walkers shortbread biscuits in bed and receiving an early morning phone call from Keenan started off the perfect day. Phone calls to the family in Ireland as they enjoyed their Christmas Eve swiftly followed, after which Elaine baked Irish soda bread, accompanied by bacon for breakfast. By then we'd held off long enough to open our Christmas presents.

Albeit that the weather remained overcast and chilly the whole day, Roy did a garbage and fresh water run after breakfast, while Elaine set and decorated the table to Christmas music and twinkle lights, before cooking started in earnest. Our meal of Herb Roasted Turkey, Pear and Chestnut Sausage Stuffing, Bacon Wraps, Cranberry Sauce,  Turkey Gravy, Roast Potatoes, Brussel Sprouts (for Roy) and Snap Peas (for Elaine), paired with the perfect wine (mostly for Roy), following by Steamed Christmas Pudding and Custard (for Roy) and Lamingtons and Custard (for Elaine), together with the obligatory Lindt Mint and Ferrero Rocher chocolates and a selection of nuts, turned out to be a rather grand, not to mention, delicious meal, to come out of our relatively small gallery and one Elaine thoroughly enjoyed preparing, although some assistance was needed from Roy on the final touches.

The day was wrapped off watching one of our favourite Christmas movies, The Holiday, followed by another favourite, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. A low-key, wonderful Christmas Day in Oz!
