Christmas

December 25, 2009

Christmas dinner is done, as well as most of the dishes.
We had ham, Pooh’s pomegranate salad, mashed potatoes and rolls, wine and egg nog. Not too fancy, but easy to make so the focus is not on the cooking. What is missing is pumpkin pie, because I totally forgot to make it.

The day started around 9ish, with Kringle and coffee. Stockings and presents followed, and then a game of Quirkle. It is a cross between Scrabble and Set, and was pretty fun. Rey prevailed – but only by one point. A round of vegetables and humus and off we went to a movie. Sherlock Holmes, although we ended up at a show 3 hours later than thought. Which allowed Rey & me to take a walk.

The movie was good, but it is a Guy Richie film, so expect a bit of fighting.
