Pete took us all out to lunch at a very nice restaurant named Cooper Hawk. The food was delicious. I had the shrimp and scallop risotto and it was divine.
They also made me up a very well done Canadian Old Fashioned.
After lunch we dropped Xander off at basketball practice and then headed home. Steph, Abby, and Emma put up Christmas tchotchkes although Mom helped out with decorating the tree.
I found the crackling fire channel on tv and sat and got comfortable on the couch. Abby played some Christmas music on her phone. It wasn't connected to a speaker so it sounded like it was coming from an old transistor radio.
Steph put a Santa hat on Thora Peaches which looked very cute.
Mom took a picture of me with the manger scene she and Dad made oh so many years ago.
Abby made a power point of her Xmas wish list. I got a kick out of that. Most of the things were found on Amazon and she made note of when she found an item on sale.
Pete made cheese fondue for dinner along with some chicken breasts (internet photo).
Abby had a friend over and they played games with Xander and Emma for most of the the evening while Mom, Pete, and I had some Bailey's Irish Creme and watched Password on tv. It was a laid back and enjoyable day.
Oh, and by the way I got Whammed today while scrolling through Instagram. I believe last year I made it to just before Christmas.
Technically I don't think the Whamaggedon thing starts until December 1 but I'll still consider myself out.
