The 2023 festive season was upon us, in a myriad of venues.
A visit to the Orillia area to help my Dad saw the only real wintery weather of the "winter" thus far. Nothing crazy, and at least travel conditions were good, but they at least did have some snow.
Back home, we had yellow dandelions, double digits and fog pretty much right up the Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve with close friends, for some homemade chili and fresh beer bread by the fire.
Having secured a fresh turkey from our neighbours, we feasted on delicious fowl on Christmas Day. We continued to mourn the loss of Pennywise, whose absence in the house was palpable. We drowned our sorrows in an onslaught of the usual holiday movies.
Off to Coxmas, where we had chinese food and homemade deep dish pizza, along with some high quality time with the Coxes. We watched Norway trip videos and some World Junior hockey tournament, both involving Gothenburg, Sweden. We also played Wingspan and enjoyed some fires out back with a 99-song playlist curated by yours truly.
We ended 2023 by watching The Hobbit trilogy, as a prelude to the Lord of the Rings trilogy in store for the first day of 2024. With grey skies and green grass, we grazed upon the usual selection of appetizers.
Counting up to the New Year....123123......
