Merry Christmas! (imagine Christmas picture inserted here) Yesterday Alison and I celebrated our first Christmas as a married couple. It was sad not to be with our family, but it did leave us free to start a tradition or two that we might not have if we were at home. Here are a few that we will probably continue.
- Peach French toast for breakfast. Alison makes this wonderful dish that consists of sugar, peaches, french bread and then the french toast mix (egg, milk, vanilla and cinnamon). It was quite scrumptious.
- Duck for Christmas dinner! I'm not sure I've had duck before, but it was excellent. Quite succulent. We also had garlic roasted potatoes, this cheese/cream cheese/sour cream spinach and broccoli dish. Lastly, home made cranberry sauce.
- Giving gifts (duh). I got some starbursts, some malt beverages and some dark chocolate. Alison got some great gifts as well! Some really Christmas albums with really bad cover versions of bad Christmas songs and a french coffee press.
Some things I would rather NOT continue:
- Me doing my Christmas shopping at 11am on Christmas day (I think this was the main reason that the Christmas albums were so bad).
- Me not doing my Christmas shopping before Christmas day.
Why, might you ask, did you wait so long to do your Christmas shopping!? I have good reason. Alison and I took a holiday in Malaysia. We saw a lot of cool things, gawked at some jungle animals and had an all around good time. As usual, you can see some of the
pictures at my picasa site. Enjoy!
