FESTIVE FUN & CHRISTMAS CHEER

I do love playing Santa!

Nearly every year since moving to Toronto over 20 years ago I've had a few friends over at Christmas time. When I moved in with Rob he was kinda of nervous about this annual tradition of mine, not being the social guy, and worried he wouldn't be a good host. Now I think he looks forward to it as much as I do, and he actually pushed me to hold it this year when I had I decided I wasn't going too.

It's been a rough year for me emotionally, with my Mother's illness. These people have been a great support system for me. I'm truly blessed to have such wonderful friends in my life and enjoyed sharing some time with them to celebrate the holiday season.

A couple crazy Canucks, Darlene and Jenn.

Amanda, Pat and Vitra having some girl talk.

Angie's Christmas Cheer!

I have been perfecting the recipe for this drink for the last four years, and this year I think I nailed it!

Angie's Christmas Cheer:


3 Cups Cranberry Cocktail
1 Cup Pineapple Juice
1 Cup 7Up or Sprite
1 Cup Vodka

Pour all ingredients into a pitcher, stir and refrigerate. Serve over ice.


Cheers!

Angie, thank Rob for his insistence on your annual Christmas event. It was a lovely evening, I'm so happy you decided to do it. Seeing you and the others was great. Your home made lobster chowder was so yummy, I had to have more than one bowl. To top things of, your "Christmas Cheer" drink, hit the spot too.
Thank you (both) for your invite & hospitality!

*Huge Hugs*
