More pictures from the Christmas Eve, Christmas Day & Boxing Day festivities for 2025! For the BIG DAY itself - a December 25th spent with my loving family, opening presents around the tree, all lit up with soft golden fairy lights; eating delicious food including a cooked brunch of ham off the bone & poached eggs, our traditional Christmas Goodies (Rocky Road, White Christmas, Rum Balls & Apricot Balls) that my mother & I make each year to remember my Aunty Shirley - whose recipes we follow - & a roast turkey dinner with salted caramel pudding to finish; singing along with Christmas Carols & playing board games together.
For the occasion, I donned a stunning lemon yellow floral embroidered mesh empire-line fit-to-flare midi dress with satin lining, boning in the bodice & 3D floral embellishments from City Chic, styled up with a pair of hand-painted yellow & white floral leather strappy wedge sandals from a French label called Laura Vita via Obsession Shoes (coming through with the goods once again) for a modicum of height & hint of print, a stack of vintage Mexican silver bangles that some dear friends brought back from a trip overseas & a single, vintage silver bangle from 20th Century Antiques & Collectibles that was a gift from my younger brother.
Scroll down to see how the day unfolded, as well as check out all of the beautiful decorations we put up around our home...
