We enjoyed a lovely Christmas day with our Australian family
Christmas is special to us because it is one of the ways we celebrate God's gift to us of Jesus - our Lord and Saviour.
My dear wife did a marvelous job of preparing our house for the festive season, and cooked a fantastic Christmas meal in the Canadian tradition. It took us some convincing to get our Aussie members of the family to try some items on the menu, like pumpkin-pie and jellied salads, but once they did it all quickly disappeared. Turkey, ham, even some home-made Sushi, traditional Christmas pudding, smoked salmon - well, you get the idea. There was too much food for one meal and it took us about three hours to consume.
Our two grandchildren had a great time and parents and grandparents enjoyed Christmas vicariously through their eyes.
Fortunately, we had a cold wet day ( reminds us of home) so we put the fireplace on. Can you imagine - it's supposed to be summer?
Merry Christmas to our Canadian family! Wish you could have been here.
