Holiday Un-wrap

It's been just over a week since Christmas Eve, and I've spent the last 9 days in a food induced coma. I spent the holidays with my darling sister Kirsten and the usual crew from Whitehorse. It was a great Christmas filled with wine and lessons learned:

1. People may argue about the meaning of Christmas, but I, like every good Norwegian know that Christmas is not about shopping, gifts or even eggnog - it's about baking....a lot. I think the oven was on for 4 days straight getting all the cookies and breads ready for the big day.

2. There's no Christmas like a Guitar Hero Christmas. Starbuck was an extremely generous puppy this year and there was a cherry red wireless guitar under the tree for Mommy. This quickly helped Christmas Eve transform into an all-out strum-off.

3. It's true, everyone should try dogsledding at least once...just make sure you wear LOTS of clothes. When you think you have enough clothes, add a few more layers and light a small fire in your boots.

Hopefully 2007 brings lots of blogging and maybe mononucleosis to help me get rid of the 10 lbs. Christmas present currently residing in my arse.
