Busy day, this Christmas. My brother and nephew are playing a piano/organ duet at church this morning. I run into old friends, some that I have not seen in over a decade. I see Mrs. Hiew, my late grandmother’s friend. She is turning 100 years old next week.
Nish from Toronto is passing through Vancouver on his way to Whistler. I take him to Rainflower Restaurant for some of that tasty dim sum that I keep telling him about. The durian puffs were divine--we splurged calorie-wise and ate 3 each.
Our family finally gets around to the presents just before dinner. I get a really cool gift. My nephew and niece made me a duct tape card holder and purse--perfect for all those business cards I’ve been passing out.
By the way, I did manage to find a gift for my brother that he likes: the whole score to Handel’s Messiah. We hit most notes with sight reading. And I did find someone on the street who appreciated a brief chat and a few dollars.
We don’t even bother cooking our own Christmas dinner anymore. Fifteen of our family and friends meet at Rainflower Restaurant instead. John the manager, kidded me about just walking around the block and returning to the restaurant.
LOVE the card holder! The purse is pretty cool too!
