Christmas Eve day we had rain from 4AM til 4PM, then a little clearing, the sun peaked out a few times, followed by intermittent rain for a few more hours!
Sky drama during the late afternoon
Christmas day weather was dry, although still with heavy skies and very little sun.

We started the day with a family favourite Blueberry French Toast casserole. Then, for the second Christmas in a row, we met our family on Messenger to open gifts; Janine, Colin and their boys Magnus & Zach in Calagry and Tyson & Veronica in Toronto.
Took an afternoon walk through the neighbourhood as we weren't sure that the leaden skies wouldn't produce more rain! Guess we were making an attempt to earn our meals and treats for the day....
Once again we were alone for Christmas dinner but that did not stop us from having roasted pork tenderloin* and root vegetables as well as harvard beets (a family tradition at festive meals). We even indulged in some wine. Dessert was Petite Cherry Cheesecakes, a Christmas favourite at our place.
* we would have roasted a (bone-in, skin-on) turkey breast if our local grocery had had one that hadn't been brined or pre-seasoned!
Boxing Day was dry, calm, blue skies appeared and temperatures warmed to low 60sF/mid teensC. Good enough for us to enjoy a bike ride! We felt like we had just got out of jail....
We hope you all enjoyed your Christmas celebrations and observances.
