Merry Christmas Patrick! Thanks for your card. This is my Christmas photo which I took in a hotel lobby. 

We send you Christmas greetings and wish you all a very peaceful time. We have arrived at Marnie and Ants for Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Tristan has just gone to bed very excited after leaving the compulsory milk, cookies and carrots for Santa and reindeers. We will go for the traditional Christmas Day walk in the forest tomorrow before dinner. Just the five of us for Christmas dinner. Ant and Marnie have some friends for dinner on Boxing Day. We will head back to Cornwall on Wednesday. We plan on a quiet New Years Eve. Gayle will be heading to Ottawa early in January to spend a little time with her brother Pete who's wife Marlene passed away a few weeks ago. Have a great New Year and of course your holiday in Costa Rica Best wishes Derek Hello Cornwall! Trust you are both well!  Fondestos from Lady Dar to you both. All the best, Gayle and Derek. Cheers, Patrizzio!

Just heading out to the Jurkowski’s meatless Ukrainian supper (B&L’ s) with Marlo/Ryan/Emmett & Quinn! 

Hello Famiglia Dunn and Famiglia Dronkers! Trust everyone is well. Just a quick note to thank you, Marian and Tim, for the simply wonderful birthday party and concert! Sorry I've not sent these snapolas along sooner but life has been busy, as I'm sure I need not tell anyone. Here it is Christmas Eve and still much to do but we want to send along wishes for a Happy Christmas and a Healthy New Year to your families from ours, here at Burns Street. Fondestos from Lady Dar, frying mushrooms  for dinner, (after an early church service), and Chloë, frying our home-made perogies, ready for dinner as well, to everyone. Cheers, Patrizzio!

This evening we served our friends, Lynne and Peter, borscht and perogies after we all attended Christmas Eve church service at Oasis. They were a big hit if second and third helpings were any indication! I was rather pleased that we had payed homage to my Grandmother and Mother whose similar dishes we've all enjoyed in the past.
