Merry Candlemas

Rousing from our slumber at the wee hours of the morning, around 8:30 am, we pattered out to the Christmas tree to see what Santa had left us. The theme of the Canadian's gifts seemed to be beer and meat.
While mine were candles.
Everybody got me candles. Everybody. It was actually kind of funny.

There were other gifts too, like cookbooks and food goodies. We got so much food that we decided not to make our crockpot dinner and just snack on our Christmas goodies instead. We made a plate of cheese, sausage and pretzels and washed it down with the raspberry lambic (super fruity beer/malt beverage) from Wilson.

Mom came over this morning and had a breakfast of gingerbread waffles and bacon with us while showering us with more gifts. One of the candle sets Mom got me was called Frankincense and Myrrh and I've been burning some this morning. It smells delightful. Very spicy and reminds me of the holidays.

I love that it's only Friday. We have another whole two days to sit on our butts and eat cookies and sausage! I think we may try to make it over to the movies this weekend. Watch a little Sherlock Holmes. It looks like a good one to see in the theater. Lots of action. Just like our life!

Hope everybody enjoys their Christmas weekend!
