3 – Where will you be celebrating Christmas this year?
Isabel: This year is a very special year because my parents moved to Rio de Janeiro (from Recife) in October and so we will be spending Christmas and New Year’s with them there in Rio. A very Brazilian Christmas.
Veronica: Phil (my husband) is a Baptist Church pastor so we go to the service in the morning. This year, most of our friends are travelling in Brazil or with other relatives so we will have our first traditional British Christmas just Mummy, Daddy and the kids (the first in seven years of marriage). We are going to make it a very special occasion.
On Boxing Day, we will be seeing Nana and Grandad and so we will open our presents there with them.
4 – What will you miss the most this Christmas?
Isabel: The other part of our family who will be in England, Cranberry Sauce to go with the Turkey, Christmas Pudding with custard and brandy. The fireplace, the board games before bed time at Gran’s house (like monopoly, trivial pursuit, etc).
Veronica: My sister and her husband who will be spending Christmas with his side of the family. My Brazilian family and my Gran, on my mother’s side, who from now on is spending Christmas with Jesus.
