Christmas at Malua Bay


YIC spent a very enjoyable Christmas with the massed ranks of the Inglis/Miller families at Malua Bay. For those whose Aussie geography is not quite A1, Malua Bay is on the coast east of Canberra and south of Sydney. The photo above shows Peter & Alison with Patrick, Tristan and Natalie, and Alison & Dan with Kristin and Sarah opening presents on Christmas Day.

The Inglis/Millers obviously knew YIC's tastes for presents. He received:
vegemite - from John & Barbara
rooibus [red bush] tea from Peter and Alison
toblerone - from Rick & Kiz.

Here he is with his rooibus.

YIC attended The Anglican Church of The Ascension in Bateman's Bay on Christmas Day. The priest showed the crib to the children with shepherds angels etc, but there was no Jesus. Fortunately the priest had the baby Jesus in his pocket. As the priest commented, everybody needs a pocket Jesus - he can go everywhere with you.

And finally, let nobody say that YIC doesn't enter into the Christmas spirit. Look below. Need YIC say more?
