Its still morning for most of you back home, but our Christmas Day is coming to an end already. We have had a most wonderful day! We slept in a bit, and then wandered down to the beach. We treated ourselves each to a one hour full body massage, and then each had a manicure and pedicure. (Yes, even Malcolm) Only I got my nails painted though!! Then we each endured some threading.....I got my eyebrows done, and Malcolm got ALL his back hair removed. Can you imagine him sitting through all that?!?!? Threading is something that I've only heard about Indian women doing, but its obviously all over Asia. Basically, the person uses thread held between both hands and their teeth and kind of rolls the thread around catching the hairs and pulling them out. Its kind of like tweezing (sure hurts like it anyway!) except they can choose to remove only one hair at a time, or a few. I still can't believe that Malcolm put up with the pain for all that time - I was squirming just getting my eyebrows done! Still, we are terribly beautiful now.....no pain no gain, right?
After that, we had a lovely seafood lunch overlooking the ocean, and then afterwards a bit of a swim and lounging about. Tonight we've had another lovely meal at the same restaurant as last night, and just a few minutes of internet at the fancy hotel again.
We hope that you all have a lovely day today, and eat lots and lots!
All our love,
K & M
PS: Mum, you'll be pleased that I still managed to keep our Christmas tradition - the restaurant was playing the Boney M Christmas CD!

Christmas is only 366 days away!
The turkey was very tasty and we all ate more than enough. The M&M's walked over in the late pm to see our tree and we walked them home for the exercise. Imagine, John walked both ways. I am impressed with Malx and we had better see a picture of the final results!!! I'll say no more. Love, Momma & John
perfect Christmas
What a lovely warm Christmas you've had while the rest of us are freezing! Perfect that is except the hair removal bit. I can think of better ways to spend an hour. Perhaps men like to prove they can endure pain. Mothers don't have to prove anything-labour is enough! Anyway aren't men supposed to be hairy? Thank you again for the beautiful pics and your fastenating descriptions!
Love and hugs. Mum
