    I think I've got food prep for tomorrow under control. My sister, mother and
    I are doing a potluck this year, all I've got to make is au gratin potatoes,
    a cole slaw, roasted brussels sprouts and host the family.

    The hard part is that we have a 10:00am flight to Hawaii the following morning. It's going to be a long night cleaning up and getting ready to fly.

    Sounds good, I'm hungry again and it's Christmas Day here and I have eaten already way too much ;-)

    The hard part is that we have a 10:00am flight to Hawaii the following morning. It's going to be a long night cleaning up and getting ready to

    Safe travels and I hope the meal and gathering goes well.

    Here we also did a bit of a pot luck thing and prepped a bunch of stuff days earlier. Today has gone well, windy but sunny and it's still warm.

    Leftovers for the next several days to come :)

    What?!?! (@_@)

    Are you really telling me that it's colder in the Okanagan Valley than in the Ottawa Valley? Because that would be a first!

    I grew up in Vernon, not too far north of you (moved away circa 2005). And I definitely have a different memory of winters in that area. I specifically remember sweater weather for Christmas, more than once.

    Then again, a lot of sh!t has hit the fan for you guys this year...There was
    a time when I was worried that my hometown might get burnt down...

    I guess you're getting as cold as you got hot, this year! (o_O)

    That's just what I was thinking, Three or four weeks ago at was +24 here!

    It's a cold snap. Normally we would be around around +5 here at the end of December. We might see a few -16 days here.. in Febuary!

    Yes, this is the garden spot of Canada.. most times!

    Yes, there were bad fires, not here but around here. The town of Lytton Was destroyed by fire. Very little if anything remains of the town. The town of Merritt was flooded just a few weeks ago. I think there will be big challenges for both of those towns now.

    The meal went well, the flight to Hawaii non-eventful. The weather? Horrendous. Rain most of every day we were there. At least it was a warm
    rain, but all of our water-based plans were cancelled - can't snorkel when
    you can't see through all of the run-off. :(
