Our daughter Skyped us from Chicago. We shared some Christmas chatter and showed various things we hadn't seen before. WE saw a Christmas present that we hadn't opened yet. She got the same thing we got although we hadn't opened it yet.
After the daughter's call we opened gifts.

| Had a nice two km walk around bower Ponds. Lots of skaters on this well kept outdoor pond. I was sorry I didn't take my skates. |
Skyped with the grand kids in the afternoon.
Very good Christmas dinner. We had turkey breast. After we had eaten we noticed that a single neighbor was home alone so took a plate of our dinner over to him.
From 7-8 PM I went cross country skiing. I really needed to burn of those extra calories.
Do you ski in the dark?
ReplyDelete"From 7-8 PM I went cross country skiing"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seems to me to be very dangerous to do so, unless your town has an area which is well lit up for these activities?
Anyhow good to know that you and the family had a good Christmas day.
Cheers

Colin, I go out in the close behind my house. The street lights light the trail up perfectly.
ReplyDeleteYounger guys will ski out on the park trails in darkness. Your eyes adjust to the darkness.
We have a completely blind skier who only skis at night because other people aren't on the trail for him to run into.
It sounds like a perfectly wonderful way to spend the day, Red. And so lovely of you to think of your neighbour.
ReplyDeleteYou reminded me of cross country skiing in Colorado during a full moon. It was so different but lots of fun. I realized that my depth perception was off where the moon made dark shadows on the trail. I do love your self portrait, you did it very well! Thanks for sharing your Christmas with me...
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good day..I enjoyed your photos:)
