Christmas haul, so far...

We got a deep freezer from my father (second hand, that he wasn't using), a humidifyer, a kitchen/food nutritional scale and a bread cutting board from my mom and stepdad. I gave the boyfriend two cookbooks (he likes to cook, and loves cookbooks), my mom and stepdad got him season 6 of Dr. Who, parts 1 and 2, and the boyfriend got me a 12" Peter Venkman from Matty Collector!

We still have the boyfriend's mother's Christmas/birthday party, this coming Saturday, then we'll be done overeating for the next little while (at least until Easter, when my MIL makes turkey and all the fixings, yet again). But, because I've done Christmas in a non-French Canadian way (we were with the boyfriend's extended family), it feels like I haven't eaten my fill of tourtière (spiced meat pie) and stewed meatballs, and am still craving the stuff.

Big changes coming up this year: ( Cut for length )
