Christmas in this part of the world was wet and dreary but what can you expect we live on Vancouver Island. However this did not dampen our spirits any. Many hours of merriment filled the day.
The day started as usual - very early. But this time I was wokened by the phone ringing - I had it in my housecoat pocket - man it was loud - 5:45 wow. I thought it must have been my daughter the most Christmasy person I know but it was my oldest grandchild. What the? I did got up and but did not go over to open presents there - I just put on my housecoat and enjoyed my coffee and the silence of the morning. Eventually Michael got up and we opened our gifts to each other and had our traditional Mimosa.
The day played out with visits next door with all of Michael's family and down the street to my son's house for dinner with my family.
