Hooray, Christmas Day. Spent the morning with Cory at home, watching the rain turn to snow. Finally we got to experience what a white Christmas is like. Snow falling outside, warmth inside. Craig and I went up to the top of Whistler Mountain for a late lunch - conisisting of a burger and chilli cheese fries. Very festive. As we were enjoying our lunch a blizzard blew in - this was the coldest I have ever been in my life - I suspect the wind chill factor would have been upwards of -30. The gondola download took us 45 minutes from peak to base due to reduction in speed because of the wind. We bought Caramel Apples from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Company, then went and collected Sam and Ian before heading to Ress and Anthony's apartment. Dinner was booked for 6pm at '21 Steps' in the heart of the village. I discovered ice-wine martinis. ;) Turkey Dinner followed by pumpkin pie, and then the caramel apple at Ress' while we played our secret santa game. Craig came out of the game with what he wanted - his Vancouver moose photo holder, and I got a jamaican beanie (tea cosie - lol) - We then got our stuff together and caught a cab home.
