We have a quiet day here but it is also enjoyable. We have the full meal with all the trimmings. I forgot to take a photo but there was: turkey, gravy, dressing, potato, sweet potato, corn, cranberry, aspic and pecan pie!

| Santa didn't bring me a thermometer as this one shows a couple of degrees too warm, but this shows that it was cold. |
 |
| We had snow again yesterday |
 |
| So as far as the weather goes it was very Christmas like with snow and cold. |
I hope everybody had a great day as I certaily did.
No doubt everyone looks for a white Christmas, but then its only 6.7 deg here and we are feeling cold (the right temp for the Christmas eve mass)
ReplyDeleteIf 6.7 is Celsius that's not bad!
DeleteWe have a white Christmas and now headed for a little cooler. Merry Christmas Red:)
ReplyDeleteThe white stuff and lower temps were sure to come.
DeleteWe had a warm christmas with a night of rain
ReplyDeleteYou take what you get and enjoy it.
DeleteGlad to see you have a real winter with cold and snow. Here the daffodils are blooming in some gardens with 14 C (57.2F) temperatures.....
ReplyDeleteThat's unbelievable to have daffodils bloom in Dec!
DeleteMy heat seems to be staying on, but you have had some major cold.
ReplyDeleteIf we set the house temp for 70F or so the heat will come on at the temps you have.
DeleteI am envious of that snow. We usually have a white Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI know you honestly love snow
DeleteBelated Christmas wishes to you and a very Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes, the New Year is on it's way.
DeleteWhat a difference only a few provinces away! We were 15 C. two days ago. Frost on the green grass today. I want some snow. Perhaps freezing rain tonight!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Those few provinces are large. I remember the first time I drove across Ont. I couldn't believe how big it was.
DeleteYou got what so many of us only dream about---a white Christmas. Take care and Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYes, very cold! We were about 40 degrees F here, and the sun even broke through the clouds for a bit. We had a similar dinner but we had to work for it. I'll explain when i get a post up later today.
ReplyDeleteYou do things the real way...you make the stuff...there's nothing better than home made. We made everything except the pie.
DeleteHi Red, I sure like that thermometer with C on the outer circle and F on the inside. I can always remember 32 F = 0 C but then it seems confusing to translate from there. Although we use mostly F in USA, C really is more logical with 0 at water freezing.
ReplyDeleteI don't convert except for my American follower. I'm surprised how many Americans are familiar with Centigrade. I just look on my faithful round thermometer.
DeleteSounds like a lovely Christmas day. We just got back from spending two days in our hometown of Montreal visiting family and friends. It was very nice.
ReplyDeleteIt's always great to get together with family.
DeleteWe had the warmest Christmas ever with not a hint of snow anywhere. I hate that! We are finally supposed to get some white stuff next week. Glad you had a nice Christmas! I am still full from yesterday's supper.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you'll get much snow from this time of winter.
DeleteI had a wonderful day, spending time with friends and my guy. Family through Facebook, and pretty stress free. Nice! Sounds like yours was great, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteKey word..stress free. Too many Christmas celebrations are spoiled by stress.
DeleteGlad you had a good Christmas. Snow would make it seem more like Christmas. It was very warm and humid here. We have had the air conditioner running continuously since Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing that you have the air conditioner running.
DeleteWell I'm glad it's cold there, because everyone else seems to be dealing with balmy temperatures. Sounds like you had a good meal! I love your headline, because that's what all of us are saying, with a sigh of relief. :)
ReplyDeletewe had rains, then tornadoes in the area. more storms, flooding and hail today, but grateful to be safe at run*a*round. :)
ReplyDeleteOhh soo nice!!I love you had a great Christmas meal!
ReplyDeleteMy mom always had turkey in Christmas
Now when shes gone we have the norwegian food (you know the kids want it)Pinnekjøtt mashed potatoes and yellow turnip
We are expecting heavy storms coming and the mountains is not aloud to go(Closed ways)
i love your post red-Iam so glad i found your place
Wish you and wife and family a great New Year2016
Anita
Happy Holidays, Red. That is a wonderful feast you had. I don't think we've ever had turkey for Christmas. It's just too much work to prepare. Then again, our new year celebration is even more work with all the traditional things mom likes to prepare.
