Spending time with family is my favourite part of the holidays. I feel like it’s the only day and a half when all shops and activities cease, and you can relax at home with your loved ones. 

Our tradition is spending every moment together, and eating delicious Christmas meals my mom prepares. These include fish with home made tartar and her amazing chicken noodle soup with home made noodles. I may have had three servings of the soup…but whose really counting during the holidays? 

This year also marked the start of a few new traditions, such as Christmas crackers and chilled eggnog & spices run as we open Secret Santa gifts amongst much laughter. 

Unfortunately it wasn’t a white Christmas, but we did spend some time outside taking pictures and playing with Nala on the 25th. An amazing time spent with my amazing family.
