Christmas Chez Phil

Fa la la la la

26 December 2009. We ate Christmas at Phil's this year. Having survived his first encounter with "the bird" last year, he was eager to do it all again — and we were only to happy to let him.

I said I would reprise the stuffing we didn't have at Thanksgiving time; Ken concocted a wonderful vegetable casserole; and Réal bookended the meal with shrimp cocktail for starters and pie and cake for dessert. And let's not forget the Baileys-Kahlua-Butterscotch shots in between. Since Bob wasn't there, Réal drank ones for him.

After dinner we sat around and listened to Susan Boyle's new CD, which is simply fabulous. What a splendid voice!

And of course, there was the usual repartee, politics, and general tomfoolery. In short, a wonderful time.
