Just dropping in...
Dear Jonathan's parents,
It is with deep regret that I write to inform you that Jonathan is experiencing a nasty bout of J-itis. That is, he's been eating chicken wings and (generic) chocolate, whooping (loudly) over hockey games, shopping ON boxing day, and watching grey satellite movies. This is truly the epitome of the Js's holiday season. It's loud and obnoxious; it's horrifically unhealthy; and it's quite the bargain - today Jonathan and I spent the afternoon (which would otherwise have been for Jonathan a nice relaxing Monday reading books by the fire and listening to CBC) in Caban trying on $12 zip-ups (originally $79), and waiting in 100+ person lineups. $200 later, we participated in the traditional post-boxing day family fashion show (which takes place half-way between the master bedroom and Anika's boudoire), strutting in our 2 pairs of jeans, 1 pair of cords, wool sweater, zip-up shirt, and 3 long-sleeve shirts. It was glorious.
But again, I'm sorry. I've never seen Jonathan so much in his element before. I'd say that significant damage has been done. However I think a week with you guys is just what we'll need for the universe to balance out. We are really looking forward to it.
Sincerely,
Sima
Merry Christmas everyone!!! We hope you all are having warm and relaxing holidays. Thanks for the pictures Lily - we are thinking about you as you experience your first Christmas away from home in Japan. And to Tim and Emma, thanks for making the trip up/down to the big smoke. We know it's not the most desirable locale for a holiday ghettogether (haha) so we really appreciate it and miss you much.
We look forward to returning to our routine blogging in a few weeks but until then, we'll be on hiatus, jumping through piles of snow in Winnipeg, listening to The Edge on our little road trip down to St.Catharines, and generally doing a lot of more what we've been doing this last week: cooking, baking, reading books, eating food, exchanging gifts and relaxing with friends and family.
Peace.
P.S. We bought ourselves a new digital camera for Christmas, which means, many more pictures to post!
