Holiday Highlights

Happy New Year! Just getting back to the swing of things this year and I thought I should take the time to reflect on the highlights of the holidays.

December 23: Spent the night at the wonderful Elora Inn, about two hours outside Toronto.

December 24: Drove back to Toronto in +13 degree weather and sunny skies. Is it spring or what? Prime rib roast dinner with Lynne and Tony. Phone calls to Calgary and Nova Scotia to wish the family a Merry Christmas.

December 25: Blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup and bacon for brunch. Turkey dinner with all the fixings at Carol's! Trifle and plum pudding for dessert.

December 26: Did our bit for the Canadian economy and purchased electronic equipment. Jon got himself a new MP3 and he got me a new sexy Sony Vaio! Yippee! For dinner, we had leftovers from Carol's dinner -- ham, scalloped taters, roasted root veggies.

December 28: Jon awoke to discover his MP3 headphones in three pieces. Apparently, the cats heard his remark that the headphones were c$#! and they exacted violence on it during the night. Don't know if it was a tag team effort or what, but we have two guilty-looking cats and they won't "rat" on each other. :-)

December 31: Rich's house for pork roast, baked potatoes, mixed vegetables. Dufflets caramel apple cheesecake for dessert. Stayed up till midnight to drink some sparkling (I mean why waste the good stuff on a pregnant woman!) and to bang pots and pans on our front porch.

January 1: Pancakes again with ham for breakfast. Went for a walk in the afternoon then hosted an impromptu tea time/drinks with the neighbours. Gave the neighbours kids lots of sugar in various forms (cookies and cake). I have a feeling they will get us back for that someday.

In between the feeding, shopping and visiting was some knitting, napping, and general relaxing. I had the luxury of having lots of time off but poor Jon had to work.

It was tough getting back into the groove of work. When's the next holiday?
