Family get-together for the festival we dare not name

Christmas lunch about to start
OK, so what is this gang of Baha’is doing celebrating that festival on 25 December?

Our excuse was that the whole country had shut down for the day and there wasn’t anything else to do. (The UK completely shuts for business on 25 December - no trains, no shops, no offices… But someone must be working. How do the lights get to stay on? And what happens if you have an accident? And who’s staffing the service areas on the motorways? Surely not Father Christmas and his little helpers.)

Anyway, we had a wonderful day. Even Choo Choo the cat slumbered his way through the Leith/Howlett/ Rahmanian festivities.

“…the festival we dare not name…”

Great sense of humour!

My family also get together on these days.

We had a great day. One of the best I can remember.

Hey Barney

I have to let you know that the cat’s name is spelt ‘Chew Chew’. When Ethan named the cat we tried to tell him it was a better name for a train but spelt that way I think it just about works.

Smiles and Love :-)

Apologies to Chew Chew!
