So yes... it's Christmas once more. Time to look forward to a couple of days off and spent in the company of family and friends. The plan? A movie on Christmas Eve, for myself and my better half. This will be followed by lobster upon returning home. Kind of a Maritimes Christmas feast... everyone gets a leg... and yes, we'll probably open some little prezzies that we picked up for each other.
Christmas Day, the big meal with family. The bird, the pumpkin and mince pies... a tryptophan-induced coma afterwards, as we laze our way through the evening. With any luck, Santa might see his way to providing myself and my son-in-law with a new XBOX 360 game to try out... Who knows, maybe someone will get all energetic and suggest a drive to take in some Christmas lights, either around Ottawa or over on the Dark Side. Then again, maybe we'll save that kind of activity for Boxing Day, or perhaps a weekend day. Then there will be the trip into West Island Montreal, to see my Mom and the rest of her brood, my dear brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, in-laws, etc...
I'm ready. No panic this year, as the rampant commercialism of the Holiday Season has once more been spurned. We do things our own way and I have to say, it's a very mellow, relaxing time of the year these days. Kind of the way it always should have been...
