Christmas this year started early. We had our family Xmas lunch like on 22 December already. This year I got kinda lazy and did not set up the small Xmas tree nor put up any decorations. So, it felt more like a family lunch gathering than Xmas.
But the presents make up for it....look how pretty...one for everyone! ^_^
And thanks to Christina and her recipe, I made stew this year! It was supposed to be Hog Stew but by the time she brought me grocery shopping at Carrefour, their hogs were sold out. So I made do and did Sausage Stew instead. Yummy still!
Improvised Sausage Stew
Other dishes that were prepared by both my mum and me were (clockwise from top-left) : Chicken, Samosa, Roasted Garlic, Fried Spring Rolls, Ham and Fried Sotong Balls. My bro cooked the main dish of Seafood Cabonara Spaghetti (I forgot to take a pic of it) and it taste really good.
Roasted Garlic (also taught by Christina...a pity the top of the garlic turned out a bit more burnt than the middle cooked)
Mango with Prawn Skewer
A nice simple lunch and then we played Wii which my bro just bought for family entertainment. Just a simple game of Wii Sports had our family laughing and bowling over.

Everyone getting excited over a game of bowling....hmmm, maybe except for Ray coz he doesnt really get the game.
Have to brag about this - Charmaine can bowl on Wii really well. She is the BEST in the family and got a high score of 230+. She got a record of hitting 6 STRIKES in a row! Very scary lor....the best I did was a Turkey. T_T

Glad that this Christmas went well...food is good (thanks to Christina again!) and we had fun...marks a good ending for the year.
