Merry Christmas!
Well! Hello everyone! Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah!

I don't know what it is, but I kind of like the Queen. She's so stodgy and English and proper. Everything must be "just so" with her, but she very crankily accepts progress. She reminds me of some of my aunts, I'm not joking and I mean that it a good way. She gives me warm feelings. Crazy, but true. I AM NOT A MONARCHIST!
It's clear, here in Montreal, that Christmas and the first day of Hanukkah are on the same day this year because everything is closed where normally many more things would be open. The Christians and the Jews usually cover each other on their respective holidays and today no one can cover anybody else!
Well, I have to say that this was one of my best Christmases ever. It was just my mum and me (thank God!!) and so we had a really relaxing day. It was totally devoid of rampant consumerism and selfishness (which is usually what spoils it for me) and we had a really nice, thoughful, pleasant day. Also, I heard from two people that really surprised me. One old friend and one new friend. Thanks for calling S! I loved talking to you! Hope Arkansas treated you well in the end!
Here's how my day went:
First, we had a breakfast of cheeses, avocado, English muffins and pineapple juice.
Then, we headed over to my friend's place to check on her cats. They're great! They're only a few months old and they have grown so much!
We came back to my place and started to cook our fabulous vegetarian Christmas dinner. I'm not vegetarian, but my mum is and so I made Spaghetti Squash Lasagna and other assorted dishes.
Finally, the piece de resistance....my cranberry pomegranate cheesecake!
It was good y'all! You know when your Christmas ends without suppressing your disappointment in people that the coming year will go very well!
Here's wishing all of you the best for 2006!
