Well.... Christmas Day ended up pretty low key for us. We just hung out at home with our immediate family. It was me, Margarit, Hailey, Ryan, Helena, Braeden and Hank. We slept in until about 10:00AM and then had our gift opening. Later in the afternoon we put together another big Christmas Dinner. This time the turkey was about half the size of the one me made a few days prior. But we also had a baked ham. In addition to all the meat, there was the usual side dishes... stuffing, mashed potatoes and vegetables. After dinner every one was too full to move. We just hung out together, visiting for a while, and then some of us... mostly the older crowd... went to bed early.
On Boxing Day we slept in for a bit and then I made a big breakfast. Bacon, sausages, eggs, biscuits, and Ryan made a batch of pancakes. It was pretty low key.
It has certainly been a white Christmas this year, at least here in Edmonton. Out at Nordegg they've only seen a light dusting of snow since I was last out there. In the city we got walloped with a heavy dump of snow on Christmas Eve, that carried into Christmas Day. Then on the afternoon of Boxing Day, it started up again. It has been fairly cold, and for about the last week to ten days the temperature has consistently been around -20 during the day, and colder at night. We are supposed to get some milder weather as December winds down and we move into the New Year.
