Enchanted Forrest Year End Function

 Our Year End Function this year had an awesome theme.

Enchanted Forrest.

I immediately wanted to go and Little Red Riding Hood, but soon changed my mind and did Princess Ogre Fiona instead with full body make up.

 Here's the day and venue in pictures.

When I Think About You....I touch my Elf

 

So, this year we’ve organised something a little different for Christmas Day.

Every year, we have our traditional Christmas turkey dinner with all the trimmings at home.  We slog ourselves stukken in the kitchen;  chopping, cutting, stuffing, preparing and baking piles of food.  We inevitably burn our fingers on the oven or a pot, we eat for about 20 minutes and then we spend the next part of the day cleaning up and doing never ending piles of dirty dishes....and land up being fucking exhausted for the rest of the day and having left-overs for weeks. 

Not this year, Plonkers.

After the usual opening truck loads of presents at home on Christmas morning, we are going OUT for Christmas Dinner.
 
Hell yeah.

Kenjara Lodge and Restaurant is our gorgeous destination.

Check it out.  

An awesome Christmas spread in beautiful African surroundings.  Quiet, tranquil, peaceful with a full stocked, and dare-I-say-it, impressive Wine Cellar.  No Christmas dinner is complete without a good bottle of wino collapso.

Hell, I could even fit it an afternoon safari game drive if I wanted to.


How fekkin brilliant is that?


No clean up
No burnt fingers
No post dishes exhaustion
No anticlimax blues
No promising to never do it again

I may even book a room and spend the night.

and now on to sometime completely different....have you guys seen the current viral YouTube video BatDad?
