Christmas Day, a family day in our family. All children and grandchildren arrived in the afternoon.

Here you see my two eldest children and Fee and Juliet, my grandchildren.

Of course, baby Sam was also present. Here you see him with his grandfather, my former husband.

You see, my former husband the father of my children came to have dinner with us. As my youngest son, @exyle, wrote in his blog this evening, it's special and very nice that my ex-husband and my husband get along very well together. Not immediately of course, but after a number of years, since last Christmas, when they met for the first time. We have divorced 14 years ago and I married again 4 years ago.

Here you see them together, my husband on the right and my former husband on the left.

Nine grown-ups and three little children, a big family and I think it will be bigger in the future, because of my son Mark @exyle and Bianca @bkdbkd, they have no children yet, so who knows......

We had a lovely dinner together and there were also some gifts. Books, of course, I always buy books for Christmas and wine. For the children there were toys. Baby Sam loves the remote control of the TV, so I bought him his own!

At eight the little ones were very tired, so their parents took them home and Mark and his father and Bianca also left. My husband and I stayed behind with a huge pile of dirty dishes and it seemed like a bomb had exploded in the kitchen and the living room, but that did not matter, we had a great evening and that's what counts.

I hope you had a great Christmas too!!

Have a nice day tomorrow.

In the post of my son @exyle, you can read that he helped me with some problems I had with Steemit. He already sent me the money I earned with my blogging. It's so nice to be on board but it's also nice I can turn to @exyle when I don't understand something. Thanks, son!!!

Merry Christmas @clio, Buy your self something nice that you have wanted with the Euros that @exyle sent to you for the SBD trade. Let us all have a Happy STEEMIT New Year 2018 !!

Thank you, I certainly will!! Happy New Year to you too!

You have a beautifull family to be proud of! How great you guys can get along this way, if more people could be this tolerant and openhearted, the world would be an even better place ❤

Thank you, and yes wouldn't that be nice!

Clio... I was curious about what kind of things you've written about after visiting me, and this is a very nice surprise. You welcomes all of us into your Christmas experience and allowed us to share in it. Very nice and I am happy you have such a great family and an obviously wonderful Christmas day.

Thank you very much for your personable post and allowing us to appreciate it too. Very wonderful. I enjoyed this!

It may sound crazy, but to me, Steemit is like a big family. You connect with people from all over the world and I think that's fantastic.
So that's the way I like to write, to give you a glimpse into (my) life in the Netherlands and in France!

Looks like a great day, glad you got to get some profit out from steemit too. It's a great feeling!

Yes, it is (the day and the feeling). It was the first time that I took some money out of Steemit and it really feels very good!

I hope there is much much more! :O)

Christmas is about spending time with family and friends. It’s about creating happy memories that will last a lifetime. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Thank you, you are right, it's all about creating happy memories, but also to enjoy the moment I think!

It is awesome to have more than enough adults for the kids!
