merry christmas :)


just wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very merry christmas!
christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays - the music, the food, the gifts, spending time with family...i love it all.

the first thing we did this morning was open presents. 
later on in the evening, we sat down for an amazing dinner cooked by my beautiful madre.
the menu this year consisted of turkey (which was roasted in coke...what?!) stuffed with cornbread and ham, corn casserole, roasted potatoes, rice, pasta salad and italian cake for dessert. 
my sister also made a traditional german mulled wine called glühwein and it was delicious.

all in all, it was another amazing christmas spent with the ones i love the most.
although missing was my cousin, sherley, who is soaking up the sun right now.
jealous.

i hope you're all having an amazing holiday season.
and to all my torontonians who are still without power - keep warm!

merry christmas to all and to all, a good night.
:)
