merry christmas.
so the christmas festivities are swinging--unless you happen to be living in bc and need to fly somewhere with air canada...
so, janelle and i have had this whole week off work, which is just amazingly awesome. on monday evening we had a sandwich party at our apartment with a nice crowd. i had a weirdo sandwich and it was delicious. after eating we played a game of cranium.
on tuesday vince flew in to halifax to spend christmas holidays in cape breton with ciela's family. ciela was meeting him at the airport and we decided to go see them. so, as it turned out we met up with ciela in the parking lot and we all headed in to wait for vince together. vince was flying air canada and they lost his baggage. (no surprise there). anyways, we had lunch together at our place--leftovers from the sandwich party--and then spent the afternoon shopping. after a pizza supper, we dropped vince and ciela back at the airport (where they had left ciela's car) and vince got his luggage (which must have come on a later flight from ottawa or something).
wednesday... yesterday. christmas eve. we slept in. we did six loads of laundry (we've been procrastinating), and had a little christmas celebration at the office and exchanged a few gifts. we got joy and jane some christmasy pyjamas and a fleece throw blanket for henry. (we all chipped in for a necklace for maryann, but she got that earlier.) we got a gift certificate for a restaurant from jane and joy and a gift card to nslc from maryann. henry got us some chocolates. yummy. afterwards, janelle headed to her parent's house to help them get all ready for the dinner and i stayed home and folded laundry while watching the movie traitor. (it's pretty good.)
then we headed over to janelle's parents place for some chinese food dinner. we played games, were entertained by rowdy kids (six of them!) and had a great time! we also had a gift exchange (i got some jelly beans and janelle got a singing frog, some silly string, and a glowy thing--i'm not sure what it does.) after everyone left, janelle and i stayed behind and hung out with ma and pa swan for a while. we chatted and reclined until we were all too tired to do anything...
then janelle and i headed home around twelve thirty, ate some clementines and opened our presents. they were great and we were both pleasantly surprised. :) thank you all!
today i'm looking forward to a family christmas dinner.
