The holiday was really great for Tom and I (and the furballs). It was very relaxing and stress free, which usually isn’t the case. We went over to Tom’s dad’s for a family breakfast and gift exchange on Christmas Eve morning, and then to Tom’s mum’s for breakfast Christmas morning. We made our vegan eggnog french toast and tofu scramble and had a grand time catching up with relatives and watching them open our gifts. (I love giving gifts, my favorite part is wrapping and watching people open things I’ve spent weeks trying to keep my mouth shut about!) I was able to Skype with my mom and little sisters to do gifts over webcam, which was both painful and perfect at the same time, and my sister (Kat) and some friends from high school in Michigan (Will & Riley) have arrived safely and we’ve been having so much fun. Board games, card games, games games games. They are here until New Years so I hope you don’t mind that I’ll be taking a few days off blogging to spend it with them. (I’ll photograph everything too, of course.) This Christmas was so wonderful and fulfilling and it’s the perfect way to end an incredible year, and an even better start to a new one.

27 Dec 2011 at 9:09 pmWonderful pictures as always, makes me want to spend my holidays with you guys! I’m envious of your Rob Ryan dish(es)… he writes such sweet things. My favorite is:
‘Every night at the same time, I go outside to look up at the moon. I hold it tight and think of where you might be, a thousand miles away, looking up at the same night sky. I feel you in my heart thinking of me.
This same moon that looked down on my parents and your parents and all the parents that there ever were, looks down at us now still sharing it’s light
These same stars and this same sky hang over both you and I, In our dreams and in my heart, they help us feel less far apart.’
Happy Holidays 🙂
