Yes I know I am a day late with this post, but would you rather I not even write one? No – I didn’t think so 
This Christmas was fairly quiet compared to many of the past, but it was fun none-the-less.
With the weather being the way it has been here in Vancouver this past month of December (almost 90cm of snow in the month), we didn’t venture out with the car, and pretty much kept it close to home this year.
Of course being that Christmas fell on a work week, I as usual woke up at 7am. Though I was tempted to open some of the gifts up, I thought I should wait until Russ got up and we were both ready to open our gifts. This year we told each other to go lightly with gifts since we are heading to Argentina in a couple of weeks. I still managed to get some cool stuff that I know are both practical and useful. I got a great camera bag that doubles as a napsack (sorry not a Crumpler), I got some fleece pajama pants to lounge around in, I got a great traveler’s wallet and a tea steeper.
Granted I did get myself my own gift, as I like to do every year. This year it was an Xbox 360. I’m not a huge gamer, but since I began to go to Tanya’s place and play Rock Band, I’ve started to see how much fun it can be.
Later on in the evening, we had Laura join us for dinner at Hon’s Restaurant for a great Chinese food dinner. Russ and I were both lazy we didn’t want to cook, and poor Laura, who was at her folks the day before came home after they lost power and couldn’t get their Christmas dinner ready. On a side note it was funny to have her family show up at the same restaurant when we were there.
Later that evening we watched the Doctor Who Christmas Special and just relaxed for the evening.
All in all it was a fun Christmas, though I do miss my family I was glad I was able to talk to them as they were having their Christmas day lunch at my Mom’s.
Sounds like a lovely Christmas
Yeah it was and looks like you had a great time as well.
