This year I really enjoyed Christmas. Usually for some reason the season simply feels off or wrong but this year everything was great. It was nice having Heather around for Christmas this year. What we did was very traditional for us, nothing new.

Christmas eve was spent lounging around the house and then going to Omi's for supper and to church for the Christmas eve service. After the service we returned to Omi's to open some of our presents.

On Christmas day we ate brunch together, opened the remaining presents and then waited for Christmas dinner. Scattered throughout was a long running game of rummy which never seemed to die.

While we were opening presents at Omi's we had the fireplace channel on TV and were watching the ten minute loop of a nice wood fire. While we were playing rummy, everyone would yell out when the hand stretched out and put a new log on the fire. At some points the pre-recorded fire was more interesting than the game.

Right now it is the wait until the next big event, new years, and then the start of classes once again.
