The Christmas Break

Oh man this is going to be a long post....

Christmas Eve:
Went to work tired as hell on account of I went out the night before to see Little Fockers with the Kings/Frebergs+Daniels+Hendriks. Then I went to Courteny's to chat and exchange lovely gfits. It was a later night then I expected to have.
Work only went until noon thank God. At 11:30 Clayton comes up to me and says "Megan, you look thirsty" and then he proceeds to hand me a big cup of rum and coke. Sure, why not, it's Christmas?
Then I went home, got ready to go to Vonda for my family's Xmas tradition.
Picked up Cortlin and then we were off!
Got there and of course there is food everywhere. Cortlin decided to wear his Christmas sweater that he wore at Ambers, which my family aplauded him for his bravery :-p
We had our first dinner which consisted of everything except for meat. So perogies, cabagge rols, salads, etc etc. Cortlin was forced to try our starter dish of honey wheat which is literally just wheat, honey and water. Lol it was funny to watch him choke that down.
Then we sat and chatted for a bit before church. My uncle comes up to me and says "hey get the cousins together and Cortlin and lets do a bunch of shots before church" Oh uncle Kim. So I made us all a strange mixture of whatever I could find and it turned out not so bad. I came up with a "Toast to JC, Happy Birthday man" which didn't seem to please my Grandmother, but it was funny at the time.
Then we drove out to ST. Denis where church would be held. I decided to not tell Cortlin the it was 85% in French until he looked at the program haha. It was a long hour for him :-p
Went back to Vonda and had our second meal which was our meat meal. So ham rolls, meat pie, more perogies, etc etc.
I love our traditions.
Then we opened gifts :) Then we went home to sleep around 1 in the morning

Christmas Day:
Woke up at six, showered quickly then went to wake everyone up because I'm a big jerk like that. The four of us had our traditional glass of sparkling juice or something to toast to Christmas, then we opened gifts again!
At 8:30 Cortlin and his family came over to pick me up to go out to Medicine Hat.
Got in around 2 and immediately ate a big dinner haha. Not gonna lie, Cortlin's Grandma makes a killer stuffing. super delicious. Oh and some pink whipped thing with fruit in it. nom nom
Then we all sat down to open gifts, and before we did, The whole family suddenly broke out into Christmas carols lol. Not just any Christmas carols, but perfectly harmonized ones haha. It was actually really nice.
Cortlin's grandpa in a pastor which made me a bit nervous to sit and talk with. I've met him before, but I was worried about what he'd think of me not being very religious :( But honestly, he was one of the sweetest man ever. Adore him. Curtis showed me a bunch of old photos and keepsakes from his childhood. He called all the old stuff junk, but i honestly love that kind of stuff.
Then we played multiple games including catch phrase and things :) it was super fun, their family is really quite close.

Boxing Day:
Woke up totally clueless where I was haha I hate those moments.
Had a quick breakfast with the Daniels, then we were back on the road. I'm glad I went, their family made me feel super welcome :)
Turns out a week later Cortlin's cousin Jeradan and his gf Jill who had been at Christmas got engaged! He's only 24 which is young, but its still super exciting :) so congrats to them!
Got home at 4:30, went home and changed, then went to get Cortlin and go straight to dinner with my Dad and Kayla and Hiro :) It was super nummy :)

Kayla, Cortlin really likes Hiro by the way!

Then Cortlin and I went to Winstons for JOhnny's birthday :) It was nice to see everyone after a long weekend of family time.
Aroudn 11 we went to Scratch. Stayed there for a bit, then Cortlin wanted to go home. I wasn't really ready to go home so I dropped him off then went right back lol.
Stayed for maybe another hour then peaced.

Monday:
Got up, showered, then went and picked up the lovely Hannah :)
Honestly, I missed that girl. I've had my sore issues with her in the past when I felt neglected, but she's just one of those friends that I always just fall right back in sync with, no matter how long we don't talk.
So we went and got coffee then sat on the top floor of the Midtown and just people watched and talked for a couple of hours.

I don't remember if I did anything for the rest of the day... hmm

Tuesday:
I think this was a chill day?
oh ya, a bunch of us went to Bugsys that night for the last wing night. They clsoed at the end of the month so it was one last time there :) so good

Wednesday:
Had lunch with Courteny at Alexanders. I've never been there before but it was actually really good, I was craving a burger. Once again I got a weird look from the server when I asked for peanut butter :*(
Then we went downtown cause I had to give something back to my mom :)
AT 3 I met Cortlin at Galaxy and we saw Black Swan. It was actually pretty good. definitly trippy thats for sure, pretty dirty lesbo scene, but overall good. Although Portmans constant scared expression irritated me.
After that we went back to Cocos, I got icecream for supper :)
People came over for some drinking and fun times of Catch Phrase. It was the game of the season I swear...

Thursday:
Chill downtime
Oh! and Brittney and I booked our Europe trip
YYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

New Years Eve:
I woke up to an empty house! Lol the rents had left super early for Arizona so I was pretty stoked to have the house to myself.
SO I child proofed the house the the New Years party to come.
Then Cortlin and I went for delicious sushi. I had been craving it so damn bad :)
chilled until seven.
Then the party started.
Not sure how to even go into a bunch of detail.
It was fun :) I didn't get too wasted which was perfect! Didn't drink any of Chris' stupid tequila which was even more perfect :-p
Big mess but oh well, I got to ring in the new year with all my fav people :)
