Christmas Day 2025

Christmas Day is always a bit of a blur in our house.

As usual, the kids were up at the crack of dawn, buzzing with excitement to see what Santa had delivered. Harvey scored an electric ride-on and Darcey a proper bike — along with plenty of other surprises. Within seconds, chaos erupted. Wrapping paper flew everywhere as the kids tore through their presents at lightning speed.

Once the initial frenzy passed (and the living room became uninhabitable), it was straight into “quick, get dressed” mode for lunch at Uncle Phil’s. Darcey looked every inch the mini Mel we all know and love, effortlessly coordinated. Harvey arrived on his trike, obviously. Watching the kids unwrap clothes as gifts was peak comedy—They don’t mince there words!

Somehow, between the chaos, presents, sugar highs and good food, a really nice day was had by all. Exhausting. Loud. filling. The perfect Christmas.
