Blogmas Day 26 - Christmas Day 2020

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. Our Christmas was spent just the two of us at our condo townhome this year. It was nice to spend the whole day here, and take it easy. It was a white Christmas this year in Toronto. It hasn't been for many years now, so it made for such a nice day to stay inside and not have to drive. At times we could watch the fluffy flakes falling outside our window. Liam and I opened gifts to each other first and had our coffee and Baileys. We opened cards and stockings, and then we opened gifts. Liam got me a lot of tea and chocolates. He also got me a lovely snowman Pandora charm. I am also excited for the subscription he got me for Psychology today magazines, which I will be receiving every couple of months this year. Liam opened the ridge rib men's scarf I knitted him. I was so happy that he liked the scarf and the length. He looks cute wearing it below.

Pictured below is our tree on Christmas morning. My favourite sight to see! The gifts all wrapped, and it looks like Santa even added a few toys under there and the cushion to add more Christmas cheer. He filled our stockings too. Christmas is always so magical and wonderful. 

We had Pillsbury cinnamon rolls for breakfast along with some fruit. They were so delicious, we both had a few. They were so quick and easy to make and turned out well. I was happy to be able to have one leftover this morning as well they are such a treat.

Then we had a zoom chat with Liam's Mom, Sister, and her boyfriend. We opened gifts which we had exchanged a couple of days earlier. It was nice to see them. Then we chatted with Liam's Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin. After our calls with family, we took a walk outside and I loved seeing the snow covered houses and streets. We went to check the mailbox and got some mail. I finally received the ornament I ordered in the mail from SamanthaAnnAndCo on Etsy. It was larger than I realized, but so cute and I am loving it. It was perfect that we received it on Christmas Day and such a nice surprise. It has been a wonderful first Christmas in our new home.

After we got back, I made some tea. Then we got on zoom call with my Mom, Dad, Sister, and Brother-in-Law. We opened gifts and chatted for a bit. Then Liam and I had our lasagna and garlic bread for dinner and finished watching It's a Wonderful Life that I started last night. I was happy we still got to see our families through Zoom on Christmas, it was still special. We chatted with Liam's dad and step mom on zoom today, and now we have seen all the family for the holidays. I look forward to next year, when hopefully we can meet again in person, and spend the holidays together as usual. Hope your Christmas was also enjoyable and you made some special memories even with the pandemic going on. I hope you also enjoyed your boxing day. Take care and be safe.

Have a great day!
