Happy Boxing Day

[essentialsaltes]

Enjoyed the Company Christmas lunch and the Secret Santa-age. I received that most Christmas-sy of winter movies, The Shining, on Blu-Ray. Christmas Eve was spent with jason_brez, who prepared a magnificent choucroute, aided and abetted by gourmet porkulous products courtesy of kyrialyse.
Christmas morning we opened our presents. Plenty of thoughtful and/or tasty gifts from family and friends and Dr. Pookie got me a new iPod shuffle that's the size of a large afterdinner mint. Then a little cookie baking, for which I contributed some stirring and mixing. In the afternoon, we travelled out to Brea for dinner with mom & stepdad & a few more presents to open. A fine dinner & visit, and we got to play with their kitties some. Came home with a ziggurat of tupperwares of leftovers, so we won't starve over the cruel winter hours.
A few hours of book-reading with our toes warmed by the festive whoosh of the gas heater. A fine day, all in all.
For this evening, off to the Magic Castle!

You have no idea how much willpower it took to give away ANY of that Meadow Farms bacon... I still have three packages at home
