Christmas is here
Christmas comes but once per year. This year the whole family was reunited at our home in Nova Scotia. Our family came from Victoria, BC and Calgary, Alberta to join us in celebrations. We had our usual family traditions. We chopped down the tree at a local Christmas tree farm, decorated it and topped it with the angel that can be seen in the photo to the left.We exchanged gifts in the morning with my wife playing Santa and our favorite Christmas breakfast, Eggs Benedict with Mimosa (I think I spelled that correctly), a mix of orange juice and Champagne completed the morning. Of course, no special day is complete without a turkey dinner with all the trimmings complemented with our favorite, Stove-Top stuffing. Our oldest took a flight out on Boxing Day to spend a week in the British Virgin Islands with friends while our two younger ones are staying until the New Year. The weather co-operated. We got our "white Christmas". There was even gentle snow on Christmas Day. How
