It's Christmas Eve!

I'm back home in Toronto for the Holidays. And, while I've struggled getting into the Christmas spirit this year, I awoke excited and feeling a little more merry and bright.

The overnight snow fall (or storm as some would call it) had blanketed the outdoor landscape, leaving my neighbourhood Christmas-postcard ready. And, the aroma wafting throughout the house was evidence that Mamma was hard at work in her kitchen.

At first sniff, the air was sugar-filled and I became anxious to learn what dessert was being made (cream puffs!). But very quickly the stench of the sea assualted my nostrils and I knew: it's Christmas Eve!!

As is tradition for my family, seafood and fish are on the menu today. I'll be enjoying what I expect to be an overly filling and satisfying meal at the Oh's tonight. Will share pics soon enough!

Merry Christmas Eve to all!
