Vibes for Julia!~~~~

Weather is very weird here tonight. It has been raining and raining hard (weird because there is a ton of snow on the ground). But it is causing roads to be like rivers. And of course all cars are driving very fast.

My street is like a skating rink. Although most other roads are just river-like and not ice. But the side streets are ice. Not fun. Hoping it doesn't all freeze and that the drains start working.

There was so much food!

I don't even know why i made mine. My favorite was these coconut crusted shrimps with homemade sauce.  Chicken salad party sandwiches. Potato latkes.  I didn't even eat dessert but took some home.

My niece was pretty happy with her presents. Especially her beloved cupcake maker. She hugged me and dragged me around in a circle chanting, "cupcake maker, cupcake maker.". She was also pretty pleased to finally get her 2 favorite Curious George stories that she's taken out from the library many times (Curious George and the Chocolate Factory & Curious George Makes Pancakes).

Well, I think I'll head down to bed and get a head start on sleep so Santa will be good.

Good night!

Beautiful tree, Jane. Ours is little with a hole, and the garland is hanging funny.

DR George i'm just catching up on last night's late posts. And your suggestion of ice cream topping (for the soft fudge) was my mom's suggestion too.

Jennifer, what about using it as a fondue?  That could be very good! :D

What exactly is fondue?

I put in the freezer because it set similarly the second time. But i want to use it. Because it did taste amazing.

I don't think i'll be doing anything at all tomorrow (nothing open).

But i am anxious for Boxing Day, which is the biggest shopping day of the year here.

The bad part is the stores only open at 1pm. But it's not so bad because everyone goes before noon to get good parking spots. and some stores open early and so it's fun walking around the mall finding stores that open early! :)

Thank you DR Laura.  We went all out this year with the all the activities.  This is the first time in 2 or 3 years we have had a tree.

DR Jennifer, we also had latkes tonight.  They were a real treat.

With the roads so icy staying home sounds like a good plan.

My mom made the potato latkes. They were good.  We brought them to christmas dinner because we hadn't had any other time to make/eat them.

It's sort of weird going to Christmas Eve dinner and putting our gifts under the tree. But my aunt and uncle are not Jewish. And neither is my brother-in-law. So we've sort of gotten used to it.

I've never had a tree.  But i end up spending lots of time decorating other people's trees. For some reason they don't like doing it. So i did my sister's tree. ANd my aunt's tree.

The side streets are icy. But the driving did not seem icy at all. But like i said there was a lot of water. i mean it was ridiculous in a few places. you could see small rivers. I could not believe how fast people were driving. I guess because it looked safe being only rain.

My brother-in-law will be driving my sister and niece tomorrow morning (2 hours to visit family). So i hope the conditions improve. Or at least that it stops raining.

And even if the roads aren't the greatest on friday. The mall for boxing day is only a 5 minute drive. Not much weather could keep me away from that. :)

I know some people either love or hate Boxing Day shopping. Now i wouldn't do what many do and line up for hours to fight people for products. But i love walking through the mall and getting there really early.

Another Christmas Eve Do is Done and it was really quite fun.  Druxy and Sandy, Miss Patti (and, briefly, her mum), former dear reader Panni, Noel from NY, a new friend from the Film Score Monthly message board and his partner, my friend John Holly and his friend, Adryan Russ, Doug Haverty and his ever-lovin', our very own PennyO, neighbor Ellen Butterfield, and singer Jan Abrams and her ever-lovin' Lou.  I think that was everyone.

There is simply no way to not overeat at my Do and I Did.  But, NO dessert, only a half-a-roll, but a lot of spaghetti and tuna pasta salad.  I feel way too full, but I'm hoping that the four-mile jog and that this will be my splurge meal o' the week, will mean I didn't do too much damage, if any.  Even though I'll be attending a big Do tomorrow, I shall be a VERY good boy - I'll do the long jog, not load up on potatoes (there are always several kinds of potatoes at Cissy's partays) - just a little turkey and/or ham, and maybe a little dessert.  Then come Friday and the weekend I have no plans at all so I can be very good.

The drive home from my sister's was very bumpy, but otherwise, no problems.  It snowed a little bit while I was there, but it wasn't freezing cold, so what little snow that was on my was very easy to remove.  It's supposed to be warming up as the week goes on.  Finally!
