Christmas was a bit different this year, but we did our
very best to make it as special as possible. Realizing our culinary
limitations both in terms of ability and kitchen accessibility, we opted
out of a traditional Christmas Eve dinner in favor of American comfort
food. Feasting on mac and cheese as well as pancakes, we had just enough
energy to check out the downtown scene, but not enough to stay in the
square too long. People were widely out and about, but traveling got the
best of us and we decided it would be easier just to let Santa show up
by calling it a night. And show up he did!
