Reprieve I am stealing a few minutes in between making the gravy and mashing the potatoes. It's been a great Christmas so far. Last night friends came over for our traditional tourtiere meal, and afterwards we all sat around playing poker and Hearts.
This morning we had a leisurely start to the day....I think the kids got up around nine o'clock. We opened presents, I made eggs bennie for breakfast, and then we talked to some friends and family members on the phone. After that we ventured outside to do a bit of visiting, and now the kids are taking turns wandering into the kitchen, drawn by the smell of the turkey that's just been taken out of the oven.
Santa was very generous to all of us this year, with the main theme being travel. Alan received many items for his trip to Mexico, and for me there was a ticket for two to Spain, plus a number of Spanish-related books.
